Hello, Linus,
following patch exports fs/inode.c:generic_{drop,forget}_inode().
Without this, file system that needs ->drop_inode() super block method
would have to duplicate manipulations with &inode_unused, inodes_stat,
and &inode_lock.
This is one of few changes reiser4 requires in the core.
Please, apply.
Nikita.
