8 * The inode->i_version field:
9 * ---------------------------
ae5e165d
JL
10 * The change attribute (i_version) is mandated by NFSv4 and is mostly for
11 * knfsd, but is also used for other purposes (e.g. IMA). The i_version must
12 * appear different to observers if there was a change to the inode's data or
13 * metadata since it was last queried.
14 *
15 * Observers see the i_version as a 64-bit number that never decreases. If it
16 * remains the same since it was last checked, then nothing has changed in the
17 * inode. If it's different then something has changed. Observers cannot infer
18 * anything about the nature or magnitude of the changes from the value, only
19 * that the inode has changed in some fashion.
20 *
21 * Not all filesystems properly implement the i_version counter. Subsystems that
22 * want to use i_version field on an inode should first check whether the
23 * filesystem sets the SB_I_VERSION flag (usually via the IS_I_VERSION macro).
24 *
25 * Those that set SB_I_VERSION will automatically have their i_version counter
26 * incremented on writes to normal files. If the SB_I_VERSION is not set, then
27 * the VFS will not touch it on writes, and the filesystem can use it how it
28 * wishes. Note that the filesystem is always responsible for updating the
29 * i_version on namespace changes in directories (mkdir, rmdir, unlink, etc.).
30 * We consider these sorts of filesystems to have a kernel-managed i_version.
31 *
32 * It may be impractical for filesystems to keep i_version updates atomic with
33 * respect to the changes that cause them. They should, however, guarantee
34 * that i_version updates are never visible before the changes that caused
35 * them. Also, i_version updates should never be delayed longer than it takes
36 * the original change to reach disk.
37 *
f02a9ad1
JL
38 * This implementation uses the low bit in the i_version field as a flag to
39 * track when the value has been queried. If it has not been queried since it
40 * was last incremented, we can skip the increment in most cases.
41 *
42 * In the event that we're updating the ctime, we will usually go ahead and
43 * bump the i_version anyway. Since that has to go to stable storage in some
44 * fashion, we might as well increment it as well.
45 *
46 * With this implementation, the value should always appear to observers to
47 * increase over time if the file has changed. It's recommended to use
c472c07b 48 * inode_eq_iversion() helper to compare values.
f02a9ad1 49 *
ae5e165d
JL
50 * Note that some filesystems (e.g. NFS and AFS) just use the field to store
51 * a server-provided value (for the most part). For that reason, those
52 * filesystems do not set SB_I_VERSION. These filesystems are considered to
53 * have a self-managed i_version.
f02a9ad1
JL
54 *
55 * Persistently storing the i_version
56 * ----------------------------------
57 * Queries of the i_version field are not gated on them hitting the backing
58 * store. It's always possible that the host could crash after allowing
59 * a query of the value but before it has made it to disk.
60 *
61 * To mitigate this problem, filesystems should always use
62 * inode_set_iversion_queried when loading an existing inode from disk. This
63 * ensures that the next attempted inode increment will result in the value
64 * changing.
65 *
66 * Storing the value to disk therefore does not count as a query, so those
67 * filesystems should use inode_peek_iversion to grab the value to be stored.
68 * There is no need to flag the value as having been queried in that case.

72 * We borrow the lowest bit in the i_version to use as a flag to tell whether
73 * it has been queried since we last incremented it. If it has, then we must
74 * increment it on the next change. After that, we can clear the flag and
75 * avoid incrementing it again until it has again been queried.
