This patch was made after applying the most recent 3.11-related
patchset for xfsprogs. It was applied against the crc-dev branch,
in order to get CRC-enabled xfsprogs to build without complaining
about a lack of "umode_t". The systems used were both 32-bit
slackware-current systems, against public kernel headers of kernel
3.8.x and 3.9.x vintage.
This is an "idea" patch, a way of getting CRC-enabled xfsprogs to
build on kernels later than 3.2 while staying within the conventions
of my test systems. The idea may be bad, and the XFS crew might be
solving it in a different way while moving header files and functions.
Anyway, I don't know how the Debian and Red Hat crews solve header-
related issues like these, so comments and flames are welcome. In
particular, I'm open to a better name than "xfs_mode_t" that does
not match the grep term "umode_t".
Thanks!
Michael

Subject: [PATCH] xfsprogs: replace umode_t with xfs_mode_t
umode_t has not been exported to the public kernel headers by
the kernel `make headers_install` process since about 3.2.0-rc7.
For that matter, a `grep -rl umode_t /usr/include` can return nothing,
as if authors are avoiding the term "umode_t" altogether. Follow this
convention by changing umode_t to xfs_mode_t.
The simple hack way through this problem is to do this instead:
typedef unsigned short umode_t;
However, when xfsprogs is installed by `make install-qa`, this can
be exported to /usr/include, which is not desired behavior.
