Yes!

I will remove the diag inlines. The code is not performance critical
anyway, since diag 204 itself is soo slow. But I would like to keep
the inlines for the getter functions.

I make an additional comment to document the code
here!

... and you are right! In diag204_store() we should check
not for pages < 0, but for pages <= 0! The other spots
are ok.

Sorry, that was lindent...

Good idea! I implemented a diag204_get_buffer() function, but
I am not sure, if it is better now. At least it is not worse!

No bug, our strings here have 16 characters and are not
0 terminated.

Ok, I renamed the functions.

Right! I fixed this!

You mean using .permission in the inode operations
and using the generic_permission() function?

Currently I do not have own inode operations (and
I don't want to have them ...)

I added the following comment:

/*
 * Currently we only allow one update per second for two reasons:
 * 1. diag 204 is VERY expensive
 * 2. If several processes do updates in parallel and then read the
 *    hypfs data, the likelihood of collisions is reduced, if we restrict
 *    the minimum update interval. A collision occurs, if during the
 *    data gathering of one process another process triggers an update
 *    If the first process wants to ensure consistent data, it has
 *    to restart data collection in this case.
