I believe that this link should answer your question about the structure of the inode. The inode tables should reside in kernel space, but am not too sure about that. For the third question, yes a file residing in one filesystem will have a single inode number unless you change it yourself. (You cannot directly change an inode number for a file. You have to follow a procedure. See below.)
Hi, I know that inode for each file is unique, but is it the for the directory? So far I found different directories has the same inode nubmer when you do ls -i, could some one explain why? Thanks a lot. (9 Replies)

matchpathcon_filespec_destroy
matchpathcon_checkmatches(3) SELinux API documentation matchpathcon_checkmatches(3)NAME
matchpathcon_checkmatches, matchpathcon_filespec_add, matchpathcon_filespec_destroy, matchpathcon_filespec_eval - check and report whether
any specification index has no matches with any inode. Maintenance and statistics on inode associations
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
void matchpathcon_checkmatches(char *str);
int matchpathcon_filespec_add(ino_t ino, int specind, const char *file);
void matchpathcon_filespec_destroy(void);
void matchpathcon_filespec_eval(void);
DESCRIPTION
matchpathcon_checkmatches() checks whether any specification has no matches and reports them. The str argument is used as a prefix for any
warning messages.
matchpathcon_filespec_add() maintains an association between an inode ino and a specification index specind, and checks whether a conflict-
ing specification is already associated with the same inode (e.g. due to multiple hard links). If so, then it uses the latter of the two
specifications based on their order in the file context configuration. Returns the specification index used or -1 on error.
matchpathcon_filespec_destroy() destroys any inode associations that have been added, e.g. to restart for a new filesystem.
matchpathcon_filespec_eval() displays statistics on the hash table usage for the inode associations.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
