ext4_inode_info.i_ext_generation isn't used by anything. Was there an intent to use it for something in the future? - Ted commit 51972792db1397cddd97e1ab9c8d2604453f5b4c Author: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue Nov 4 18:46:03 2008 -0500 ext4: Remove i_ext_generation from ext4_inode_info structure The i_ext_generation was incremented, but never used. Remove it to slim down the ext4_inode_info structure.
