Not sure why you wouldn't go with the less-indently version:

if (!inode)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

inode->i_ino = get_next_ino();
<etc>


Yeah, good idea. I will change it.

+
+ inode->i_atime = inode->i_mtime = inode->i_ctime = current_time(inode);

Shouldn't we set the mode somewhere?

mode is passed in as parameter to msharefs_get_inode() which uses this value to determine its actions.

Oh right, IS_ERR() does not check for NULL value. I will add a check for that and return ENOMEM.

Changing this already?

Possibly. There is one suggestion to change it to PMD and it might be a better choice.

What ends the array? NULL name or empty name?
Do we have to erase all of these when the fs gets unmounted?

This code is very similar to simple_fill_super() and I reused the code from there. inodes and dentries will need to be erased on unmount through evict_inode.

Thanks,
