This had the unfortunate problem of being cache incoherent with unlinks, and so xfs_ifree() had to mark the inode as free directly in the backing buffer. bulkstat was changed some time ago to use inode cache coherent lookups, and so will never see unlinked inodes in it's lookups. Hence xfs_ifree() does not need to touch the inode backing buffer anymore. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely Signed-off-by: Ben Myers --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
