Subject: tmpfs: add support for an i_version counter
Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2022 09:00:31 -0400
NFSv4 mandates a change attribute to avoid problems with timestamp
granularity, which Linux implements using the i_version counter. This is
particularly important when the underlying filesystem is fast.
Give tmpfs an i_version counter. Since it doesn't have to be persistent,
we can just turn on SB_I_VERSION and sprinkle some inode_inc_iversion
calls in the right places.
Also, while there is no formal spec for xattrs, most implementations
update the ctime on setxattr. Fix shmem_xattr_handler_set to update the
ctime and bump the i_version appropriately.
