We plan to kill ->put_inode because it's the wrong abstraction and almost impossible to use non-racy (reiser4 usage is racy). I had a discussion with someone from namesys how to solve this correctly, but I don't remember the details of either the solution or problem anymore. Unless someone else does let's describe the problem again so we can find a proper fix.
