[ 071/120] ext4: always set i_op in ext4_mknod()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Oct 10 2012 - 21:27:31 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6a08f447facb4f9e29fcc30fb68060bb5a0d21c2 upstream.

ext4_special_inode_operations have their own ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR
to mask those methods. And ext4_iget also always sets it, so there is
an inconsistency.
