Hi,
I have the following question regarding the linux file system
implementation.

In linux/fs.h I saw the "struct super_operation" structure. I saw that two
of the member function pointers are write_inode() and put_inode(). But In
the ext2,ext3,ext4 implementation i saw that it uses the only write_inode()
function. So, what is the reason behind keeping the other pointers ?

Hi Dibyayan,

If you see from linux kernel version 2.6.26 onwards, put_inode() is removed.
