From acfa4380efe77e290d3a96b11cd4c9f24f4fbb18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2008 10:06:33 -0500 Subject: inode->i_op is never NULL We used to have rather schizophrenic set of checks for NULL ->i_op even though it had been eliminated years ago. You'd need to go out of your way to set it to NULL explicitly _and_ a bunch of code would die on such inodes anyway. After killing two remaining places that still did that bogosity, all that crap can go away.
