[patch 11/21] inodes: Support generic defragmentation

[Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0025-inodes-Support-generic-defragmentation.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5171 bytes --]

This implements the ability to remove inodes in a particular slab
from inode caches. In order to remove an inode we may have to write out
the pages of an inode, the inode itself and remove the dentries referring
to the node.

Provide generic functionality that can be used by filesystems that have
their own inode caches to also tie into the defragmentation functions
that are made available here.
