[PATCH] nilfs2: standardize the inode number type to u64

From: Ryusuke Konishi

Date: Mon Aug 10 2026 - 13:50:50 EST


Variables handling inode numbers - such as the 'i_ino' member of the
inode structure - have been converted to 'u64' within the kernel to
ensure consistency. However, some parts of the nilfs2 implementation
still use 'ino_t' or 'unsigned long' - both of which are
architecture-dependent types - to handle inode numbers.

Replace those remaining instances of 'ino_t' or 'unsigned long' with
'u64'.

Hi Viacheslav,

Please apply this for the next cycle.

Following the treewide conversion of inode numbers to 64-bit, this
cleans up the remaining architecture-dependent types in the nilfs2
implementation, standardizing them to 'u64'.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
