    fs: do not assign default i_ino in new_inode · 85fe4025
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    Instead of always assigning an increasing inode number in new_inode
    move the call to assign it into those callers that actually need it.
    For now callers that need it is estimated conservatively, that is
    the call is added to all filesystems that do not assign an i_ino
    by themselves.  For a few more filesystems we can avoid assigning
    any inode number given that they aren't user visible, and for others
    it could be done lazily when an inode number is actually needed,
    but that's left for later patches.
