[PATCH v7 2/4] fsnotify: Simplify inode iteration on umount

From: Waiman Long
Date: Tue Apr 12 2016 - 18:55:27 EST


From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

fsnotify_unmount_inodes() played complex tricks to pin next inode in the
sb->s_inodes list when iterating over all inodes. If we switch to
keeping current inode pinned somewhat longer, we can make the code much
simpler and standard.
