Subject: [PATCH 3.12 094/118] exportfs: fix 32-bit nfsd handling of 64-bit inode numbers

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@...hat.com>

commit 950ee9566a5b6cc45d15f5fe044bab4f1e8b62cb upstream.

Symptoms were spurious -ENOENTs on stat of an NFS filesystem from a
32-bit NFS server exporting a very large XFS filesystem, when the
server's cache is cold (so the inodes in question are not in cache).
