From 756acc2d61712a8cafe2aa6ad626c60a185d3645 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:23:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] list.h: new helper - hlist_add_fake() Make node look as if it was on hlist, with hlist_del() working correctly. Usable without any locking... Convert a couple of places where we want to do that to inode->i_hash.
