From 1a1c9bb433af252767ee90d6394d287afa30cf8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Tue, 8 May 2007 00:32:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] inode numbering: change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with their root inodes This patch makes it so that simple_fill_super and get_sb_pseudo assign their root inodes to be number 1. It also fixes up a couple of callers of simple_fill_super that were passing in files arrays that had an index at number 1, and adds a warning for any caller that sends in such an array. It would have been nice to have made it so that it wasn't possible to make such a collision, but some callers need to be able to control what inode number their entries get, so I think this is the best that can be done.
