If you do that then the i_version counter would never be incremented.
But...I think I see what you're getting at.
Most filesystems that support the i_version counter have an on-disk
field for it. FAT obviously has no such thing. I suspect the i_version
bits in fat_update_time were added by mistake. FAT doesn't set
SB_I_VERSION so there's no need to do anything to the i_version field at
all.
Also, given that the mtime and ctime are always kept in sync on FAT,
we're probably fine to have it look something like this:
--------------------8<------------------
int fat_update_time(struct inode *inode, int flags)
{
int dirty_flags = 0;
if (inode->i_ino == MSDOS_ROOT_INO)
return 0;
fat_truncate_time(inode, NULL, flags);
if (inode->i_sb->s_flags & SB_LAZYTIME)
dirty_flags |= I_DIRTY_TIME;
else
dirty_flags |= I_DIRTY_SYNC;
__mark_inode_dirty(inode, dirty_flags);
return 0;
}
--------------------8<------------------
...and we should probably do that in a separate patch in advance of the
update_time rework, since it's really a different change.
If you're in agreement, then I'll plan to respin the series with this
fixed and resend.
Thanks for being patient!
