If you insist on the blank line after declaration style,
perhaps it's better to separate the declaration from
the alloc so the alloc is on a single line like:

static struct inode *ufs_alloc_inode(struct super_block *sb)
{
struct ufs_inode_info *ei;

ei = kmem_cache_alloc(ufs_inode_cachep, GFP_NOFS);
if (!ei)
return NULL;

ei->vfs_inode.i_version = 1;
etc...
