Message-Id: <20180109144701.27387-1-jlayton@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 09:47:01 -0500 From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...nel.org> To: adilger.kernel@...ger.ca, tytso@....edu Cc: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org, dhowells@...hat.com Subject: [RFC PATCH] ext4: don't split xattr inode refcounts across i_ctime and i_version fields From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com> 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.
