内核文件系统API之generic_fillattr

void generic_fillattr(struct inode *inode, struct kstat *stat) 用于根据形参inode给形参kstat赋值，这里的kstat表示的kernel state
其源码分析如下：
void generic_fillattr(struct inode *inode, struct kstat *stat)
{
	stat->dev = inode->i_sb->s_dev;
	stat->ino = inode->i_ino;
	stat->mode = inode->i_mode;
	stat->nlink = inode->i_nlink;
	stat->uid = inode->i_uid;
	stat->gid = inode->i_gid;
	stat->rdev = inode->i_rdev;
	stat->size = i_size_read(inode);
	stat->atime = inode->i_atime;
	stat->mtime = inode->i_mtime;
	stat->ctime = inode->i_ctime;
	stat->blksize = i_blocksize(inode);
	stat->blocks = inode->i_blocks;

	if (IS_NOATIME(inode))
		stat->result_mask &= ~STATX_ATIME;
	if (IS_AUTOMOUNT(inode))
		stat->attributes |= STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT;
}
可见就是讲inode的值分别赋值给kstat
这里要注意的是i_size_read
static inline loff_t i_size_read(const struct inode *inode)
{
#if BITS_PER_LONG==32 && defined(CONFIG_SMP)
	loff_t i_size;
	unsigned int seq;

	do {
		seq = read_seqcount_begin(&inode->i_size_seqcount);
		i_size = inode->i_size;
	} while (read_seqcount_retry(&inode->i_size_seqcount, seq));
	return i_size;
#elif BITS_PER_LONG==32 && defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT)
	loff_t i_size;

	preempt_disable();
	i_size = inode->i_size;
	preempt_enable();
	return i_size;
#else
	return inode->i_size;
#endif
}
这里可见只有在32 位系统的时候才需要通过顺序锁或者禁止抢占的方式来得到inode->i_size.在arm64的时候就不用加锁了，直接返回inode->i_size
