[RFC PATCH v1 11/30] fs: new API for handling i_version

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



We already have inode_inc_iversion. Add inode_set_iversion,
inode_get_iversion, inode_cmp_iversion and inode_iversion_need_inc.

These should encompass how i_version is currently accessed and
manipulated so that we can later change the implementation.
