The patch titled
     Subject: tmpfs: don't use 64-bit inodes by defulat with 32-bit ino_t
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     tmpfs-dont-use-64-bit-inodes-by-defulat-with-32-bit-ino_t.patch

This patch was dropped because an alternative patch was merged

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.
