  10 /* #Specification: strategy / in memory inode
  11         Here is the information specific to the inode of the UMSDOS file
  12         system. This information is added to the end of the standard struct
  13         inode. Each file system has its own extension to struct inode,
  14         so do the umsdos file system.
  15 
  16         The strategy is to have the umsdos_inode_info as a superset of
  17         the msdos_inode_info, since most of the time the job is done
  18         by the msdos fs code.
  19 
  20         So we duplicate the msdos_inode_info, and add our own info at the
  21         end.
  22 
  23         For all file type (and directory) the inode has a reference to:
  24                 the directory which hold this entry: i_dir_owner
  25                 The EMD file of i_dir_owner: i_emd_owner
  26                 The offset in this EMD file of the entry: pos
  27 
  28         For directory, we also have a reference to the inode of its
  29         own EMD file. Also, we have dir_locking_info to help synchronise
  30         file creation and file lookup. This data is sharing space with
  31         the pipe_inode_info not used by directory. See also msdos_fs_i.h
  32         for more information about pipe_inode_info and msdos_inode_info.
  33 
  34         Special file and fifo do have an inode which correspond to an
  35         empty MSDOS file.
  36 
  37         symlink are processed mostly like regular file. The content is the
  38         link.
  39 
  40         fifos add there own extension to the inode. I have reserved some
  41         space for fifos side by side with msdos_inode_info. This is just
  42         to for the show, because msdos_inode_info already include the
  43         pipe_inode_info.
  44 
  45         The UMSDOS specific extension is placed after the union.
