[RFC][PATCH 1/3] Coda: add spin lock to protect accesses to struct coda_inode_info.

From: Jan Harkes
Date: Wed Oct 20 2010 - 16:23:44 EST


From: Yoshihisa Abe <yoshiabe@xxxxxxxxxx>

We mostly need it to protect cached user permissions. The c_flags field
is advisory, reading the wrong value is harmless and in the worst case
we hit a slow path where we have to make an extra upcall to the
userspace cache manager when revalidating a dentry or inode.
