From 61edc3f3b51d2d3948029197cfff6fef7d94e939 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 00:49:04 +0200 Subject: ubi: Don't bypass ->getattr() Directly accessing inode fields bypasses ->getattr() and can cause problems when the underlying filesystem does not have the default ->getattr() implementation. So instead of obtaining the backing inode via d_backing_inode() use vfs_getattr() and obtain what we need from the kstat struct.
