Ocfs2 devel - Jun 2006 - [tytso@thunk.org: [RFC] [PATCH 1/8] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private]

Folks,
	Here in Ted's inode-diet patch, he renames inode->u.generic_ip
to inode->i_private.  I note that OCFS2 uses generic_ip only one place,
in debug code:

ocfs2_dlm_debug_open():
	1998         osb = (struct ocfs2_super *) inode->u.generic_ip;

However, we never set it!  This leads me to believe this is stale code.
Thoughts.

Joel

That's the dlm debugging fops getting the osb off of the debugfs inode's
generic_ip which was set with debugfs_create_file().
