[PATCH 09/17] fs: Make last_ino, iunique independent of inode_lock

From: Dave Chinner
Date: Wed Sep 29 2010 - 08:21:53 EST


From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>

Before removing the inode_lock, we need to make the last_ino and iunique
counters independent of the inode_lock. last_ino can be trivially converted to
an atomic variable, while the iunique counter needs a new lock nested inside
the inode_lock to provide the same protection that the inode_lock previously
provided.
