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.
