I am not sure if I describe my thought clearly.
In VFS layer, loff_t, size_t and other related data types are used for all architectures, that means these kinds of data type's lengths
will change based on different CPU bits.
But, for a specific file system, the file system bit is fixed, e.g. ocfs2 is a 64 bits file system, this bit length is determined by file system layout (not CPU bits).
Then, in this layer we should use fixed-length (or common) data type in the code, the VFS layer data types should be converted into our data types potentially (but except pointer type).
