Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 30/30] fs: convert i_version counter over to an atomic64_t
The spinlock is only used to serialize callers that want to increment
the counter. We can achieve the same thing with an atomic64_t and
get the i_lock out of this codepath.
Drop the I_VERS_BUMP flag, and instead, borrow the most significant bit
in the counter to use as the flag. With this change, we can stop taking
the i_lock in this codepath, and can use atomics instead to manage the
thing.
On the query side, if the flag is already set, then we just return the
counter value. Otherwise, we set the flag in our in-memory copy and use
cmpxchg to swap it into place if it hasn't changed. If it has, then we
use the value from the cmpxchg as the new "old" value and try again.
When we go to bump the thing, we fetch the value and check the flag bit.
If it's clear then we don't need to do anything if the update isn't
being forced.
If we do need to update, then we clear the flag in our in-memory copy
and bump the counter (handling any overflow into the flag bit by
resetting the counter to zero). We then do a cmpxchg to swap the updated
value into place if it hasn't changed. If it has changed, then we use
the value we got back from cmpxchg to try again.
