/*
 * The change attribute (i_version) is mandated by NFSv4 and is mostly for
 * knfsd, but is also used for other purposes (e.g. IMA). 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.
