Do the design docs indicate how inode numbers should interact with
userland APIs?
IIRC, inode numbers are 64-bit numbers in XFS. Since ino_t, st_ino of
struct stat and d_fileno of struct dirent are only 32 bits, inode
numbers may be truncated and not appear unique to userland. This
would break the assumptions of some code (e.g. getcwd(3), when not
using the kernel extension).
