    [PATCH] hpfs: new/read/write_inode() cleanups · eb3a6d15
    Alexander Viro authored
    	1) common initialization for all paths in hpfs_read_inode() taken into
    a separate helper (hpfs_init_inode())
    	2) hpfs mkdir(),create(),mknod() and symlink() do not bother with
    iget() anymore - they call new_inode(), do initializations and insert new
    inode into icache.  Handling of OOM failures cleaned up - if we can't
    allocate in-core inode, bail instead of corrupting the filesystem.
    Allocating in-core inode early also avoids one of the deadlocks here
    (hpfs_write_inode() from memory pressure by kmem_cache_alloc() could
    deadlock on attempt to lock our directory).
    	3) hpfs_write_inode() marks the inode dirty again in case if it
    fails to iget() its parent directory.  Again, OOM could trigger fs corruption
    here.
