[PATCH 2/3] ensure unique i_ino in filesystems without permanent inode numbers (libfs superblock cleanup)

Jeff Layton
2006-12-07T22:13:35Z

This patch ensures that the inodes allocated by the functions get_sb_pseudo
and simple_fill_super are unique, provided of course, that the filesystems
calling them play by the rules. Currently that isn't the case, but will be
as I get to each of the filesystems.

The patch itself is pretty simple, but I also had to fix up the callers of
simple_fill_super to make sure they passed in the seq flag. For this first
pass, I set it on any filesystem with an empty "files" struct to 0. That may
need to be revised as I review each filesystem, but should be OK for now.
