Not sure why you wouldn't go with the less-indently version:

if (!inode)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

inode->i_ino = get_next_ino();
<etc>

Shouldn't we set the mode somewhere?

What ends the array? NULL name or empty name?
Do we have to erase all of these when the fs gets unmounted?

mode is passed in as parameter to msharefs_get_inode() which uses this value to determine its actions.

Oh right, IS_ERR() does not check for NULL value. I will add a check for that and return ENOMEM.

Possibly. There is one suggestion to change it to PMD and it might be a better choice.

This code is very similar to simple_fill_super() and I reused the code from there. inodes and dentries will need to be
erased on unmount through evict_inode.

And it's different from d_alloc_name() how, exactly?

Really? You've got symlinks here?

That's an odd way to spell BUG()...

BTW, what's the point of having device nodes on that thing?

Looks remarkably similar to something I've seen somewhere... fs/libfs.c,
if I'm not mistaken...

Sarcasm aside, what's wrong with using simple_fill_super()?

By making minor changes to my other code, I was able to use all of the standard functions you pointed out. That
simplified my patch quite a bit. Thank you!

I intended to support symlinks on msharefs but I am not sure if I see a use case at this time. I can drop support for
symlinks and add it in future if there is a use case.

I think what you are saying is this default case represents a bug and I should report it as such. Is that right, or
should I not have a default case at all (which is what I am seeing in some of the other places)?

There will be no device nodes on msharefs. Are you referring to the dev_t parameter in msharefs_mknod() declaration? If
so, I am following the prototype declaration for that function from fs.h:

int (*mknod) (struct user_namespace *, struct inode *,struct dentry *,
umode_t,dev_t);

If I am misunderstanding, please correct me.

I started out using simple_fill_super() in patch 1. I found that when I use simple_fill_super(), I end up with a
filesystem that userspace can not create a file in. I looked at other code like shmfs and efivarfs and wrote similar
code which got me a writable filesystem. I might be missing something basic and if there is a way to use
simple_fill_super() and be able to support file creation from userspace, I would much rather use simple_fill_super().
