[PATCH 3/3] vfs: convert sb->s_inodes iteration to super_iter_inodes()

Huang Shijie huangsj at hygon.cn
Thu Oct 15 09:38:54 UTC 2026


Convert all the remaining superblock inode iterators to use
super_iter_inodes(). These are mostly straight forward conversions
for the iterations that use referenced inodes:
 - sync_bdevs
 - drop_pagecache_sb
 - gfs2_kill_sb
 - add_dquot_ref
 - hook_sb_delete
