nfs currently behaves differently on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels regarding the on-disk format of nfs_fscache_inode_auxdata. That format should really be the same on any kernel, and we should avoid the 'timespec' type in order to remove that from the kernel later on. Using plain 'timespec64' would not be good here, since that includes implied padding and would possibly leak kernel stack data to the on-disk format on 32-bit architectures. struct __kernel_timespec would work as a replacement, but open-coding the two struct members in nfs_fscache_inode_auxdata makes it more obvious what's going on here, and keeps the current format for 64-bit architectures.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
