8 : : * The inode->i_version field:
9 : : * ---------------------------
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 : : *
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
48 : : * inode_eq_iversion() helper to compare values.
49 : : *
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.
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.
69 : : */
70 : :
71 : : /*
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.
