This is a non-ida backport of Tejun's patch in -mm at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc1/2.6.22-rc1-mm1/broken-out/gregkh-driver-sysfs-allocate-inode-number-using-ida.patch
for the 2.6.16 -stable tree - it follows the same scheme of using s_ino to
safely
store & retrieve the inode number of sysfs entries for use in sysfs_readdir,
but uses a brain-dead-simple inode nr allocator rather than ida, which would
bring along a lot of newer, more complex code.
No, this doesn't guarantee uniqueness of sysfs inode numbers, but then
the code in -stable today doesn't either - and with this change, at least
it shouldn't oops.
Comments?
Thanks,
-Eric
