Subject: [RESEND][PATCH 0/3] fs: remove unnecessary i_version handling from various filesystems

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@...hat.com>

Hi Andrew,

I sent these patches to the various fs maintainers prior to the last
merge window, but they didn't get picked up. This is mainly removing
i_version/f_version handling from filesystems that don't implement it
properly, and that don't use it anyway.

This is almost certainly the result of cargo-cult copying from other
filesystems.

Would you be willing to merge these for the v4.16 window?

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff Layton (3):
  lustre: don't set f_version in ll_readdir
  ntfs: remove i_version handling
  hpfs: don't bother with the i_version counter or f_version
