[RFC PATCH] ext4: don't split xattr inode refcounts across i_ctime and i_version fields

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

 



From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is based on top of the i_version rework that I'm flogging
upstream. It's just a cleanup of some nastiness I noticed while in there.

This code uses the i_ctime and i_version fields to each store half of
a refcount. I suspect it was done this way long ago when the i_version
field was a 32 bits, and was never changed when the field was converted
to a 64 bit value.

Change the code to just store the refcount in the i_version field rather
than splitting it across both fields.
