This patch passes a data pointer along to the alloc_inode
super_operations function.  The value will initially be used by
bdev_alloc_inode to allocate the bdev_inode on the same numa
node as the device to which it is tied.

Yecchhh...

Oh, _lovely_.  Such a stunningly elegant idea.  And why not pass the
sodding node_id directly, if I may ask?

[finds completely undocumented reason for that]

Take that crap out and don't bring it back.  And consider this kludge NAKed
once and forever.  It's unspeakably ugly, even if it didn't break just about
every fs out there (you do realize that almost all of them have ->alloc_inode(),
don't you?  Use grep and see).

BTW, speaking of other reasons this is FUBAR - mknod a block device node
for something that doesn't exist and try to open it.  struct block_device
lifetime is not limited to that of struct gendisk; it can be allocated
before gendisk is there.  Moreover, with static /dev and demand-loaded
modules this will be the normal scenario.

IOW, this is completely misguided.

struct block_device *bdget(dev_t dev)
{
...
        inode = iget5_locked(blockdev_superblock, hash(dev),
                        bdev_test, bdev_set, &dev);

The device is used by bdev_test and bdev_set.

Oof.  I was using cscope and it didn't show all callers.

OK, thanks for the review, Al, it's greatly appreciated.  Do you have a
suggestion on how I might achieve this in a way that would be
acceptable?  I'm not too fond of the idea of reallocating the inode when
the device does appear.  I'll give it some more thought.

Again, thanks for taking a look.

Cheers,
Jeff
