Hi Matija,
I started from the version in 2.1.120, but found that there were many conceptual problems remaining, in particular with inode-centric code that can't be made to work properly or reliably. I've rewritten it to use dentries whenever possible,and this has simplified the code considerably.
I've posted a snapshot patch that has most things working OK in both plain and EMD directories, but still needs work on symlinks and hardlinks.
The good news is that almost all of the iputs are gone, and it appears free of inode and dentry leaks. Hopefully the remaining bugs won't be too hard to track down :-)
Regards, Bill
