Subject: [PATCH 06/38] whiteout: Add vfs_whiteout() and whiteout inode operation
From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de>
Whiteout a given directory entry. File systems that support whiteouts
must implement the new ->whiteout() directory inode operation.
XXX - Only whiteout when there is a matching entry in a lower layer.
XXX - MS_WHITEOUT only indicates whiteouts, but we also use it for
fallthrus. Can we just check root->i_op->whiteout and ->fallthru? Or
do we need an MS_FALLTHRU?
