[PATCH] inode-diet: Eliminate i_blksize from the inode structure
This eliminates the i_blksize field from struct inode. Filesystems that wan
t
to provide a per-inode st_blksize can do so by providing their own getattr
routine instead of using the generic_fillattr() function.
Note that some filesystems were providing pretty much random (and incorrect)
values for i_blksize.

So, it's gone. I'd just delete that line from your sources if I were you.
By the way, what kind of module is this? Whatever it's doing looks
pretty dodgy to me.
