Series fs: inode: shmem: Reduce risk of inum overflow | expand

Commit Message

Chris Down Jan. 3, 2020, 5:30 p.m. UTC
get_next_ino has a number of problems:

- It uses and returns a uint, which is susceptible to become overflowed
  if a lot of volatile inodes that use get_next_ino are created.
- It's global, with no specificity per-sb or even per-filesystem. This
  means it's not that difficult to cause inode number wraparounds on a
  single device, which can result in having multiple distinct inodes
  with the same inode number.

This patch adds a per-superblock counter that mitigates the second case.
This design also allows us to later have a specific i_ino size
per-device, for example, allowing users to choose whether to use 32- or
64-bit inodes for each tmpfs mount. This is implemented in the next
commit.

Its the other way around.

It's not a "may" it's for sure, but I don't see what this comment adds
in this context.
The comment about stat_lock below seems enough to me.

Thanks! I'll fix these and comments on the other patches and send v4 here and 
with linux-mm/tmpfs maintainer on cc. :-)
