Creating Linux virtual filesystems

Nice, informative article. Great!

However, if I'm not mistaken, isn't the following line incorrect, or did I miss something?
inode->u.generic_ip = counter;
Shouldn't it be (note the pointer to counter):
inode->u.generic_ip = &counter;

Once again, great article.

No, the code is correct - lfs_create_file already gets a pointer to the counter as an argument, there's no need to indirect it again.
