Yeah... I have to agree. Will make it more readable.

enum {
         BAD_BLOCK_SYSTEM_INODE = 0,
         GLOBAL_INODE_ALLOC_SYSTEM_INODE,

#define NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES (NUM_SYSTEM_INODES -

struct ocfs2_super {
...
         struct inode *global_system_inodes[OCFS2_LAST_GLOBAL_SYSTEM_INODE];
         struct inode **local_system_inodes;
...
};

local_system_inodes = kzalloc(sizeof(struct inode *) * osb->num_slots *
                             NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES;

         /* avoid the lookup if cached in local system file array */
         if (is_in_system_inode_array(osb, type, slot))
                 arr = &(osb->system_inodes[type]);

change to:

         if (is_global_system_inode(type)
                 arr = &(osb->global_system_inodes[type]);
         else {
                 BUG_ON(slot == OCFS2_INVALID_SLOT);
                 BUG_ON(type < OCFS2_FIRST_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODE ||
                         type > LOCAL_GROUP_QUOTA_SYSTEM_INODE);
                 tmp = (slot * NUM_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODES) +
                       (type - OCFS2_FIRST_LOCAL_SYSTEM_INODE);
                 arr = &(osb->local_system_inodes[tmp];
         }

How does this look?

The only downside is that the kzmalloc for more than 64 slots will
require more than a page on 64-bit systems. But that should be ok.
