From 711c7bf9914060d7aaf3c1a15f38094a5d5e748f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:05:08 -0800 Subject: fs, exportfs: add exportfs_encode_inode_fh() helper We will need this helper in the next patch to provide a file handle for inotify marks in /proc/pid/fdinfo output. The patch is rather providing the way to use inodes directly when dentry is not available (like in case of inotify system).
