breaks on 2.6.25-rc1 and later due to this commit. It's a bit too
deep for me to handle.
More config checks and #ifdefs. We basically can call our read_inode
directly (which does a getattr to fill in the inode) if its no
longer part
of the super_operations struct. We were doing this before, but
through the
actual s_ops->read_inode pointer. Can you try the attached patch?
It
compiles against the latest tree, but I don't have a machine that I
can run
that kernel on at the moment.
Also, I didn't include configure in this patch so you'll have to ./
prepare.
The #ifdefs around the iget4, iget5_locked, etc. code are
especially nasty.
iget5_locked has been defined in all versions of the 2.6 kernel, so
it
would be really nice to just whack those #ifdefs if we were to
decide not
to support 2.4 kernels in future releases.
Looks so trivial in retrospect, thanks for figuring that out.
I had a bit of fuzz that casued problems with your non-"diff -u"
patch, but it applied fine to CVS head.
It works brilliantly on 2.6.25-rc1. Let me know if you want me
to do the checkin labor.
Go for it. Thanks!
