From 4e07ad6406d8137cc5aa1317568408c461ee8ce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@nexedi.com> Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 15:25:10 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: fix typo in s_op->alloc_inode() documentation The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c . The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the whole kernel history.

This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler or bottom half). - alloc_inode: this method is called by inode_alloc() to allocate memory + alloc_inode: this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory for struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which
