[PATCH] (1/5) beginning of getattr series.
added new helpers - vfs_stat(), vfs_lstat() and vfs_fstat(). fs/stat.c switched to use them. Following patches will stat(2) variants in arch/* that used to copy inode fields manually switched to vfs_*stat() and partially cleaned up irix_...() switched from sys_new*stat() to vfs_*stat() and cleaned up. Missing LFS check added. similar for solaris ones ditto for x86 compatibility ones on ia64. We are almost ready to switch to ->getattr() - let filesystem decide what values should go into ->st_... (e.g. for CODA life would become much easier if it could just use ->i_size of caching file, for supermount we want ->i_ino inherited from underlying fs, etc.) Another thing that needs to be done is fixing the rest of LFS/uid size fsckups in architecture-specific variants of stat() - I've fixed several, but quite a few are still there.
