[PATCH 1/4] nfs: store the full NFS fileid in inode->i_ino

From: Jeff Layton

Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 12:30:21 EST


Now that inode->i_ino is a 64-bit value, store the full NFS fileid in
it directly instead of an XOR-folded hash. This makes NFS_FILEID() and
set_nfs_fileid() operate on inode->i_ino rather than the separate
nfsi->fileid field.

Since iget5_locked() and ilookup5() now accept a u64 hashval, pass the
full fileid as the hash parameter directly.

Convert direct nfsi->fileid accesses in nfs_check_inode_attributes(),
nfs_update_inode(), and nfs_same_file() to use inode->i_ino.
