[PATCH] cramfs: generate unique inode number for better inode cache usage

From: stefani
Date: Thu Dec 16 2010 - 04:51:39 EST


From: Stefani Seibold <stefani@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This is third version, hope this is less ugly code :-)

This patch generates a unique inode numbers for any entries in the cram file
system. For files which did not contain data's (device nodes, fifos and
sockets) the offset of the directory entry inside the cramfs plus 1 will be
used as inode number.

The + 1 for the inode will it make possible to distinguish between
a file which contains no data and files which has data, the later one has
a inode value where the lower two bits are always 0.

It also reimplement the behavoir to set the size and the number of block
to 0 for special file, which is the right value for empty files,
devices, fifos and sockets

As a little benefit it will be also more compatible which older
mkcramfs, because it will never use the cramfs_inode->offset for
creating a inode number for special files.

The patch is aginst 2.6.37-rc5

Please apply it.

Thanks,
Stefani
