I wonder if there's a way to make this explicit - or is it something that if the bit isn't set, you can't use the value in st_blksize. I wonder if this value always has to be non-zero to make sure existing stat() doesn't explode.More likely it probably needs to be non-zero to prevent applications doing division by block size from exploding... ;)
Right, and any application which knows it needs the blocksize should also be requesting it when using the statxat() (or whatever) syscall.
