The patch titled iget: stop CIFS from using iget() and read_inode() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is iget-stop-cifs-from-using-iget-and-read_inode-try.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: iget: stop CIFS from using iget() and read_inode() From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Stop the CIFS filesystem from using iget() and read_inode(). Replace cifs_read_inode() with cifs_iget(), and call that instead of iget(). cifs_iget() then uses iget_locked() directly and returns a proper error code instead of an inode in the event of an error. cifs_read_super() now returns any error incurred when getting the root inode instead of ENOMEM. cifs_iget() needs examining. The comment "can not call macro FreeXid here since in a void func" is no longer true.
