The i_version must * appear different to observers if there was a change to the inode's data or * metadata since it was last queried. * * Observers see the i_version as a 64-bit number that never decreases. If it * remains the same since it was last checked, then nothing has changed in the * inode. If it's different then something has changed. Observers cannot infer * anything about the nature or magnitude of the changes from the value, only * that the inode has changed in some fashion. * * Not all filesystems properly implement the i_version counter. Subsystems that * want to use i_version field on an inode should first check whether the * filesystem sets the SB_I_VERSION flag (usually via the IS_I_VERSION macro). * * Those that set SB_I_VERSION will automatically have their i_version counter * incremented on writes to normal files. If the SB_I_VERSION is not set, then * the VFS will not touch it on writes, and the filesystem can use it how it * wishes. Note that the filesystem is always responsible for updating the * i_version on namespace changes in directories (mkdir, rmdir, unlink, etc.). * We consider these sorts of filesystems to have a kernel-managed i_version. * * It may be impractical for filesystems to keep i_version updates atomic with * respect to the changes that cause them. They should, however, guarantee * that i_version updates are never visible before the changes that caused * them. Also, i_version updates should never be delayed longer than it takes * the original change to reach disk. * * Note that some filesystems (e.g. NFS and AFS) just use the field to store * a server-provided value (for the most part). For that reason, those * filesystems do not set SB_I_VERSION. These filesystems are considered to * have a self-managed i_version. */ /** * inode_set_iversion_raw - set i_version to the specified raw value * @inode: inode to set * @new: new i_version value to set * * Set @inode's i_version field to @new.
