Diego, what about backwards compatibility of this patch?
Since what kernel versions file_inode() function appeared?
Comment 2 Alessandro Barbieri 2016-02-21 21:52:49 UTC 
I have this bug too.
Comment 3 Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2016-02-22 09:04:25 UTC 
Fixed in the tree. (No revision bump here, please resync to update.)

file_inode() appeared in 3.9.0, so kernel version check ifdefs are added.
