So you can use file->f_mapping->inode as I said in my previous mail.
Since struct address_space does not have a member with the name "inode",
I assume that you meant "host" instead of "inode"? If so, how about
modifying patch 06 of this series as shown below? With the patch below
my tests still pass.
Thanks,
Bart.
