From c654b8a9cba6002aad1c01919e4928a79a4a6dcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:33:25 -0400 Subject: nfsd: support ext4 i_version ext4 supports a real NFSv4 change attribute, which is bumped whenever the ctime would be updated, including times when two updates arrive within a jiffy of each other. (Note that although ext4 has space for nanosecond-precision ctime, the real resolution is lower: it actually uses jiffies as the time-source.) This ensures clients will invalidate their caches when they need to. There is some fear that keeping the i_version up-to-date could have performance drawbacks, so for now it's turned on only by a mount option. We hope to do something better eventually.
