vfs: fix typo in s_op->alloc_inode() documentation
The function which calls s_op->alloc_inode() is not inode_alloc(), but
instead alloc_inode() which lives in fs/inode.c .
The typo was there from the beginning from 5ea626aa (VFS: update
documentation, 2005) - there was no standalone inode_alloc() for the
whole kernel history.

This means that most methods can block safely. All methods are only called from a process context (i.e. not from an interrupt handler or bottom half). - alloc_inode: this method is called by inode_alloc() to allocate memory + alloc_inode: this method is called by alloc_inode() to allocate memory for struct inode and initialize it. If this function is not defined, a simple 'struct inode' is allocated. Normally alloc_inode will be used to allocate a larger structure which |
