Subject: tmpfs: don't use 64-bit inodes by defulat with 32-bit ino_t
Currently there seems to be an assumption in tmpfs that 64-bit
architectures also have a 64-bit ino_t. This is not true; s390 at least
has a 32-bit ino_t. With CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64=y tmpfs mounts will get
64-bit inode numbers and display "inode64" in the mount options, but
passing the "inode64" mount option will fail. This leads to the following
behavior:
# mkdir mnt
# mount -t tmpfs nodev mnt
# mount -o remount,rw mnt
mount: /home/ubuntu/mnt: mount point not mounted or bad option.
As mount sees "inode64" in the mount options and thus passes it in the
options for the remount.
Ideally CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 would depend on sizeof(ino_t) < 8, but I
don't think it's possible to test for this (potentially
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_64BIT_INO_T or similar could be added, but I'm not sure
whether or not that is wanted). So fix this by simply refusing to honor
the CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 setting when sizeof(ino_t) < 8.
