Check whether the kernel supports i_uid/gid_read/write helpers
Since the concept of a kuid and the need to translate from it to ordinary integer type was added in kernel version 3.5 implement necessary plumbing to be able to detect this condition during compile time. If the kernel doesn't support the kuid then just fall back to directly accessing the respective struct inode's members Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #4685 Issue #227
