While I was looking through the code, I noticed i_op
is not always initialized, although operations such
as setattr probably always should be set.
ext4: ext4_mknod: always set i_op
From: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
ext4_special_inode_operations have their own ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR
to mask those methods. And ext4_iget also always sets it, so there is
an inconsistency.
