It seems so because the implementation nowwhere refers to the inode 
parameter. But I guess it won't be OK to just remove this parameter from 
the declaraion and the implemetation because some other NVidia code may 
refer to this parameter, pass it and so on. Potentially scrambling 
(spoiling) the parameter stack.

Ok, as I said - it is nowhere used. So this is not a problem.
