My filesystem has need of an extra mutex in the extended inode data area. From what I understand, the mutex can be initalized in inode_init_once, but I cannot determine how to free it. It looks wrong to destroy the mutex by just destroying the slab. It is wrong to destroy the inode in destroy_inode. Badness when an inode is reused. I really don't want to go back to semaphores. The mutex code just *looks* so much cleaner. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
