The patch titled
Subject: ntfs: remove i_version handling
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ntfs-remove-i_version-handling.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ntfs: remove i_version handling
NTFS keeps track of the i_version counter here, seemingly for no reason.
It does not set the SB_I_VERSION flag so it'll never be incremented on
write, and it doesn't increment it internally for metadata operations.
