Steven Rostedt (Google) 53c41052ba eventfs: Have the inodes all for files and directories all be the same
The dentries and inodes are created in the readdir for the sole purpose of
getting a consistent inode number. Linus stated that is unnecessary, and
that all inodes can have the same inode number. For a virtual file system
they are pretty meaningless.

Instead use a single unique inode number for all files and one for all
directories.
