I know that anon_hash_chain has gone away in 2.6 because the inodes for special filesystems like sockfs, pipefs, etc are now associated with a superblock. Should these inodes have i_hash linked into the inode hashtable then? It appears in 2.4 now they are associated with superblocks as well.
I have been working on a problem dealing with inodes on a 2.4 kernel, and was walking inode_in_use and saw inodes that were unhashed. They all are associated with superblocks for special types. My question is, is this expected behavior or should they be getting hashed?
Thanks
