[PATCH] simplify b_inode usage

From: Christoph Hellwig (hch@lst.de)
Date: Tue Aug 13 2002 - 10:10:24 EST


Current the b_inode of struct buffer_head is a pointer to an inode, but
it only always used as bool value. This patch changes it to an simple
int (yes, I know some people have ideas for a flag that uses less space,
but that can be easily done ontop of this cleanup). The advantage is
that we don't have to pass in the inode into buffer_insert_inode_queue/
buffer_insert_inode_data_queue and can merge them into a more general
buffer_insert_list, with inline wrappers around it. reiserfs can now
use buffer_insert_list directly and embedd a simple list_head instead
of a full static inode into it's journal.

A similar cleanup has already been done in early 2.5, but the b_inode
flag is completly gone there now.
