Please retain the xfs_get_projid(ip) wrapper and do all the
necessary conversions via that wrapper. We don't need a second copy
of the project ID to support namespace aware project ID support.

This does not belong here. At minimum, it would need to be in
xfs_iformat(). Further, if there is a requirement it is initialised
correctly, it needs to be zeroed in xfs_inode_alloc() where we pull
a newly allocated inode out of the slab.

As it is, however, having read further through the patches, I can't
really see why we need even need a separate variable - the
conversions shoul dbe done at the edge of the filesystem (i.e. VFS
and ioctl interfaces, and the core of the filesystem left completely
untouched.

As all you are doing is introduing a requirement that we keep two
variables in sync and increase the size of the struct xfs_inode
unnecessarily. History says this sort of duplication is a source of
subtle bugs....

There is no need for this change at all. Even if we have a second
variable, the two are in sync and of reading from the dic is
perfectly OK.

Cheers,

Dave.
