PDE_DATA(inode) is introduced to get user private data and hide the layout of struct proc_dir_entry. The inode->i_private is used to do the same thing as well. Save a copy of user private data to inode-> i_private when proc inode is allocated. This means the user also can get their private data by inode->i_private. Introduce pde_data() to wrap inode->i_private so that we can remove PDE_DATA() from fs/proc/generic.c and make PTE_DATE() as a wrapper of pde_data(). It will be easier if we decide to remove PDE_DATE() in the future.
