I see that Linus has added a comment and does not want to rename, so that settles that half of that letter. You propose to remove i_blksize. Yes, a good plan, half an hour's work. It is used in stat only, so we have to produce some value for stat. Do you want to replace inode->i_blksize by inode->i_sb->s_optimal_io_size ?
