The patch titled replacement patch for pipefs and sockfs has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was have-pipefs-ensure-i_ino-uniqueness-by-calling-iunique-and-hashing-the-inode-update.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into have-pipefs-ensure-i_ino-uniqueness-by-calling-iunique-and-hashing-the-inode.patch ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: replacement patch for pipefs and sockfs From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> pipefs declares its drop_inode function to be generic_delete_inode, which obviates the need to have the fs make certain that i_nlink is properly set at drop_inode time.
