[Linux-ntfs-dev] [PATCH v2 89/89] fs: move i_generation into new hole created after timestamp conversion

[Jeff L. <jl...@ke...>]

The recent change to use discrete integers instead of struct timespec64
shaved 8 bytes off of struct inode, but it also moves the i_lock
into the previous cacheline, away from the fields that it protects.

Move i_generation above the i_lock, which moves the new 4 byte hole to
just after the i_fsnotify_mask in my setup.
