| |
From: Denis Cheng <crquan@gmail.com>
a previous commit removed call to init_special_inode from inode lookuping, this cause problems as:
# mknod /mnt/gfs2/dev/null c 1 3 # cat /mnt/gfs2/dev/null cat: /mnt/gfs2/dev/null: Invalid argument
without special inode, GFS2 cannot support char device file, block device file, fifo pipe, and socket file, lose many important features as a common file system.
this one line patch re add special inode support.
