Subject:    [Linux-NTFS-Dev] [RESEND][PATCH 2/3] ntfs: remove i_version handling
From:       Jeff Layton <jlayton () kernel ! org>
Date:       2017-12-07 11:32:05
Message-ID: 20171207113206.31544-3-jlayton () kernel ! org
[Download RAW message or body]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

NTFS keeps track of the i_version counter here, seemingly for no reason.
It does not set the SB_I_VERSION flag so it'll never be incremented on
write, and it doesn't increment it internally for metadata operations.
