Thanks for your patch, which is now commit d155617006ebc172 ("fs/ntfs3:
Fix detected field-spanning write (size 8) of single field "le->name"")
in next-20231207.

noreply@ellerman.id.au reports for all m68k configs[1]:

include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed:
"sizeof(struct ATTR_LIST_ENTRY) == 0x20"

Indeed, we now have a hole of 4 bytes at the end of the structure,
which shrinks the size of the structure on all architectures where
alignof(u64) < sizeof(u64).

So either the patch should be reverted, or explicit padding should
be added.  Your patch description is not very descriptive, so I
don't know which is the correct solution.
