Patch below for comments. It passes xfsqa, but there's no userspace
support for it yet. 2.6.26 is the likely target for this change.

Cheers,

Dave.

Don't initialise new inode generation numbers to zero

When we allocation new inode chunks, we initialise the generation
numbers to zero. This works fine until we delete a chunk and then
reallocate it, resulting in the same inode numbers but with a
reset generation count. This can result in inode/generation
pairs of different inodes occurring relatively close together.

Given that the inode/gen pair makes up the "unique" portion of
an NFS filehandle on XFS, this can result in file handles cached
on clients being seen on the wire from the server but refer to
a different file. This causes .... issues for NFS clients.

Hence we need a unique generation number initialisation for
each inode to prevent reuse of a small portion of the generation
number space. Make this initialiser per-allocation group so
that it is not a single point of contention in the filesystem,
and increment it on every allocation within an AG to reduce the
chance that a generation number is reused for a given inode number
if the inode chunk is deleted and reallocated immediately
afterwards.

It is safe to add the agi_newinogen field to the AGI without
using a feature bit. If an older kernel is used, it simply
will not update the field on allocation. If the kernel is
updated and the field has garbage in it, then it's like having a
random seed to the generation number....
