Each kernfs_node is identified with a 64bit ID. The low 32bit is exposed as ino and the high gen. While this already allows using inos as keys by looking up with wildcard generation number of 0, it's adding unnecessary complications for 64bit ino archs which can directly use kernfs_node IDs as inos to uniquely identify each cgroup instance. This patch exposes IDs directly as inos on 64bit ino archs. The conversion is mostly straight-forward. * 32bit ino archs behave the same as before. 64bit ino archs now use the whole 64bit ID as ino and the generation number is fixed at 1. * 64bit inos still use the same idr allocator which gurantees that the lower 32bits identify the current live instance uniquely and the high 32bits are incremented whenever the low bits wrap. As the upper 32bits are no longer used as gen and we don't wanna start ino allocation with 33rd bit set, the initial value for highbits allocation is changed to 0 on 64bit ino archs. * blktrace exposes two 32bit numbers - (INO,GEN) pair - to identify the issuing cgroup. Userland builds FILEID_INO32_GEN fids from these numbers to look up the cgroups. To remain compatible with the behavior, always output (LOW32,HIGH32) which will be constructed back to the original 64bit ID by __kernfs_fh_to_dentry().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
