But this patch is putting the fs into the tree, so all the above is unneeded.

Use ULLONG_MAX?

~0ULL would be more consistent.

Tricky, needs a comment.

Would be clearer to use 1ULL.

Should be in include/linux/magic.h

There is no room for future expansion.  Would that be appropriate/wise?
I guess it would need versioning information somewhere too.

ug.

Normally the response is "please open-code this".  But given that one
day real soon this printk(u64) problem will be fixed, I guess the use
of _LLU will make it easy to find and delete all the now-unneeded
casts.

unneeded parentheses around oi->i_flags.
