+ * Inode state bits. Protected by inode_lock.

+ * Three bits determine the dirty state of the inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC,
+ * I_DIRTY_DATASYNC and I_DIRTY_PAGES.
+ *
+ * Four bits define the lifetime of an inode. Initially, inodes are I_NEW,
+ * until that flag is cleared. I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING and I_CLEAR are set at
+ * various stages of removing an inode.
+ *
+ * Two bits are used for locking and completion notification, I_LOCK and I_SYNC.
+ *
+ * I_DIRTY_SYNC Inode itself is dirty.
+ * I_DIRTY_DATASYNC Data-related inode changes pending
+ * I_DIRTY_PAGES Inode has dirty pages. Inode itself may be clean.
+ * I_NEW get_new_inode() sets i_state to I_LOCK|I_NEW. Both
+ * are cleared by unlock_new_inode(), called from iget().
+ * I_WILL_FREE Must be set when calling write_inode_now() if i_count
+ * is zero. I_FREEING must be set when I_WILL_FREE is
+ * cleared.
+ * I_FREEING Set when inode is about to be freed but still has dirty
+ * pages or buffers attached or the inode itself is still
+ * dirty.
+ * I_CLEAR Set by clear_inode(). In this state the inode is clean
+ * and can be destroyed.
+ *
+ * Inodes that are I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING or I_CLEAR are
+ * prohibited for many purposes. iget() must wait for
+ * the inode to be completely released, then create it
+ * anew. Other functions will just ignore such inodes,
+ * if appropriate. I_LOCK is used for waiting.
+ *
+ * I_LOCK Serves as both a mutex and completion notification.
+ * New inodes set I_LOCK. If two processes both create
+ * the same inode, one of them will release its inode and
+ * wait for I_LOCK to be released before returning.
+ * Inodes in I_WILL_FREE, I_FREEING or I_CLEAR state can
+ * also cause waiting on I_LOCK, without I_LOCK actually
+ * being set. find_inode() uses this to prevent returning
+ * nearly-dead inodes.
+ * I_SYNC Similar to I_LOCK, but limited in scope to writeback
+ * of inode dirty data. Having a seperate lock for this
+ * purpose reduces latency and prevents some filesystem-
+ * specific deadlocks.
+ *
+ * Q: Why does I_DIRTY_DATASYNC exist? It appears as if it could be replaced
+ * by (I_DIRTY_SYNC|I_DIRTY_PAGES).
+ * Q: What is the difference between I_WILL_FREE and I_FREEING?
+ * Q: igrab() only checks on (I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE). Should it also check on
+ * I_CLEAR? If not, why?
