[PATCH] fs: reorder some 'struct inode' fields to speedup i_size manipulations
On 32bits SMP platforms, 64bits i_size is protected by a seqcount (i_size_seqcount). When i_size is read or written, i_size_seqcount is read/written as well, so it make sense to group these two fields together in the same cache line. This patch moves i_size_seqcount next to i_size, and also moves i_version to let offsetof(struct inode, i_size) being 0x40 instead of 0x3c (for 32bits platforms). For 64 bits platforms, i_size_seqcount doesnt exist, and the move of a 'long i_version' should not introduce a new hole because of padding.
