The macro is working on the field names of the inode in most places
(e.g. i_mtime, i_ctime, etc) rather than the values. You _could_ do it
in C, but it would mean moving all of the "offsetof()" into the caller
(basically putting the whole macro in-line at the caller) or doing math
on the pointer addresses at runtime instead of compile time.
It boils down to a check whether the particular nanosecond field is
inside the reserved space in the inode or not, so it ends up a comparison
against a constant. For ctime:
if (4 <= le32_to_cpu((raw_inode)->i_extra_isize) {
And the second "if" decides whether to save bits > 32 in the seconds
field for 64-bit architectures, so it is also evaluated at compile time.
Better to have this in a macro than in the code itself.
