Two functions? There's no reason to add i_ino before adding it to the per-sb list, we don't do so either for inodes acquired via iget. The fix is simply to stop assigning i_ino in new_inode and call the helper to get it in the place that need it after the call to new_inode. Later we can even move to a lazy assignment scheme where needed. I'd also really like to get a grip on why the simple counters if fine for some filesystems while we need iunique() for others. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
