The bulk of the changes are to format strings and tracepoints, since the kernel itself doesn't care that much about the i_ino field. The first patch changes some vfs function arguments, so check that one out carefully.
Why are the format strings all done as separate patches? Don't we get bisection hazards by splitting it apart this way?
Circling back to this...
I have a v2 series (~107 patches) that I'm testing now that does this more bisectably with the typedef and macro scaffolding that Mathieu suggested. I'll probably send it early next week.
I had done it this way originally since I figured it was best to break this up by subsystem. Should I continue with this series as a set of patches broken up this way, or is it preferable to combine the pile of format changes into fewer patches?
