    kernfs: convert kernfs_node->id from union kernfs_node_id to u64 · 67c0496e
    Tejun Heo authored
    kernfs_node->id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
    either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value.  I can't see much value
    in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
    current code is already limited to.  Using a union makes the code
    unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
    practical benefits.
    
    This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node->id a u64.
    ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper.  Accessors -
    kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
    ino and gen.  This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
    allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.
    
    This patch doesn't make any functional changes.
