Shouldn't open_by_inode have a dentry_operations table like the one found in 
xfs_iops.c?
I think it should. This may be the source of the reference leak that was noticed
after using xfxdump.

If it does, doesn't that indicate that their may be problems exporting a xfs 
file system
in linux.   NFS also creates its own dentries from inodes gained by iget?
