I hate "cookies". Despicable. Why pass them in at all if they are not
supposed to be used for anything but callbacks?
What you did just added lots of ugly casts and private fields, because the
low-level FS's actually _did_ need to get "struct inode" or "struct
dentry".
In short, if this was disscussed on fs-devel, then I can only say that
"fs-devel" doesn't seem to have any taste at all. Worthless mailing list.
