Why does Linux kernel 3.0+ cancel super_operations.read_inode? Request new links ~

Question

Before kernel 2.6, super_operations kernels (include / linux / fs.h) have read_inode and write_inode . But the newer kernel no longer has read_inode , then when and how does VFS read in index information from a specific file system implementation? What is the new course for handling inode processing in VFS?

Do you have any updated materials on how to implement file systems under NEW kernel VFS?

Answer 1

The answer is practically in the commit log . Edit: see Direct parental fixation of what the practical conversion looks like in file systems.
