1) gfs2_dinode_in() should *not* touch ->i_rdev on live inodes; even "zero and immediately reread the same value from dinode" is broken - have it overlap with ->release() of char device and you can get all kinds of bogus behaviour. 2) mismatch on inode type on live inodes should be treated as fs corruption rather than blindly setting ->i_mode.
