Come to think of it, this line looks pretty insane. Why on earth are
we testing fh_dcookie twice?
I suspect that just the elimination of the redundant comparison in the
above line would eliminate Russell's problem entirely, given that it's
the only place in the entire routine where we actually reference
fh->fh_base.fb_dentry.
In all other cases, we're referencing ordinary integers. Are there any
alignment requirements on them?
Cheers,
Trond
