The kernels seem both fine on groovy and focal, respectively.

  ceph: fix inode number handling on arches with 32-bit ino_t

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  ==================

  [Impact]

  * A problem occurs with 32-bit ino_t values on 64-bit architectures
  (like s390x).

  * Without this patch, cephfs kernel client does not work properly on
  s390x: the initial symtom is missing the first created file/directory
  on cephfs mount point as reported in
  https://tracker.ceph.com/issues/46828.

  [Fix]

  * cherry-pick for groovy: ebce3eb2f7ef9f6ef01a60874ebd232450107c9a
  ebce3eb2f7ef "ceph: fix inode number handling on arches with 32-bit
  ino_t"

  * backport for focal: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/501822049/0001
  -ceph-fix-inode-number-handling-on-arches-with-32-bit.patch

  [Test Case]

  * IBM Development team and Test team have carried out simple testing
  and stress testing by automatically creating many Ceph clusters on
  s390x (with different configuration each time), doing the cephfs
  kernel mounting, checking inode numbers, running stress tests. The
  same procedures were done on x86_64 arch by Test team.

  [Regression Potential]

  * There is a certain regression risk with this patch, since:

  * common ceph filesystem code in fs/ceph/ is modified

  * the inode handling is touched

  * ceph is used for supplemental volumes

  * and as the original author of this patch (Jeff Layton) wrote in the
  commit message, the potential issue might happen on 32-bit arches only
  and he also provided workaround for those arches.

  [Other]

  * The above patch/commit was upstream accepted with kernel 5.9.

  * Cherry picking the patch/commit to groovy works fine, hence this
  SRU.

  * For focal a cherry pick does not apply cleanly, hence a backport got
  added to LP 1899582.

  __________

  Backport provided for git-commit to 20.04 kernel.

  Backport patch attached for commit ebce3eb upstream.

  It was applied and tested on top of Ubuntu commit :

  linux (5.4.0-48.52) focal; urgency=medium
