[PATCH 15/19] fs: Make iunique independent of inode_lock

From: Dave Chinner
Date: Sat Oct 16 2010 - 04:15:28 EST


From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>

Before removing the inode_lock, the iunique counter needs to be made
independent of the inode_lock. Add a new lock to protect the iunique
counter and nest it inside the inode_lock to provide the same
protection that the inode_lock currently provides.
