[PATCH 01/61] vfs: widen inode hash/lookup functions to u64

Jeff Layton
2026-02-26T15:56:29Z

Change the inode hash/lookup VFS API functions to accept u64 parameters
instead of unsigned long for inode numbers and hash values. This is
preparation for widening i_ino itself to u64, which will allow
filesystems to store full 64-bit inode numbers on 32-bit architectures.

Since unsigned long implicitly widens to u64 on all architectures, this
change is backward-compatible with all existing callers.

Functions updated:
- hash(), find_inode_fast(), find_inode_by_ino_rcu(), test_inode_iunique()
- __insert_inode_hash(), iget_locked(), iget5_locked(), iget5_locked_rcu()
- ilookup(), ilookup5(), ilookup5_nowait()
- find_inode_nowait(), find_inode_rcu()
- inode_insert5(), insert_inode_locked4()
- insert_inode_locked() (local variable)
- dump_mapping() (local variable and format string)
