Maybe shortened to > "d_backing_inode()"? Umm... Works for me. Let's do it this way, then: * rename those guys through the whole series * leave the "annotate the filesystems" bits to sit in a vfs.git branch * slap trylock_super() + bugfixes I'd been doing today (procfs and debugfs symlink removals racing with follow_link, oopsable; double-copy in autofs dev_ioctl.c, with length not rechecked after copying, theoretically oopsable + reasonably likely data leak) on top of queue * feed it through local tests and send an updated pull request later tonight.
