    [XFS] allow inode64 mount option on 32 bit systems · 6c31b93a
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    Now that we've stopped using the Linux inode cache when can trivally
    support the inode64 mount option on 32bit architectures.  As far as the
    kernel and most userspace is concerned this works perfectly, but
    applications still using really old stat and readdir interfaces will get
    an EOVERFLOW error when hitting an inode number not fitting into 32
    bits (that problem of course also exists when using these applications
    on a 64bit kernel).
    
    Note that because inode64 is simply a mount option we can currently
    mount a filesystem having > 32 bit inode numbers and cause a variety of
    problems, all this is solved but this patch which enables XFS_BIG_INUMS,
    even when inode64 is not used.
