I got compile warining after apply Kalpal's update nanosecond patch,
which makes these two function inline. It complains these functions are
defined but not used. It's being used only in the following
micros(EXT4_INODE_SET_XTIME etc). So if the .c file included the
ext4_fs.h but not using the micros, the compile will think these two
functions are not used.
