[rfc v2 6/7] fs, exportfs: Add export_encode_inode_fh helper

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Wed May 23 2012 - 06:42:54 EST


To provide fsnotify object inodes being watched without
binding to alphabetical path we need to encode them with
exportfs help. This patch adds a helper which operates
with plain inodes directly.

This feature is CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE only.
