8 * The inode->i_version field:
9 * ---------------------------
10 * The change attribute (i_version) is mandated by NFSv4 and is mostly for
11 * knfsd, but is also used for other purposes (e.g. IMA). The i_version must
12 * appear larger to observers if there was an explicit change to the inode's
13 * data or metadata since it was last queried.
15 * An explicit change is one that would ordinarily result in a change to the
16 * inode status change time (aka ctime). i_version must appear to change, even
17 * if the ctime does not (since the whole point is to avoid missing updates due
18 * to timestamp granularity). If POSIX or other relevant spec mandates that the
19 * ctime must change due to an operation, then the i_version counter must be
20 * incremented as well.
22 * Making the i_version update completely atomic with the operation itself would
23 * be prohibitively expensive. Traditionally the kernel has updated the times on
24 * directories after an operation that changes its contents. For regular files,
25 * the ctime is usually updated before the data is copied into the cache for a
26 * write. This means that there is a window of time when an observer can
27 * associate a new timestamp with old file contents. Since the purpose of the
28 * i_version is to allow for better cache coherency, the i_version must always
29 * be updated after the results of the operation are visible. Updating it before
30 * and after a change is also permitted. (Note that no filesystems currently do
31 * this. Fixing that is a work-in-progress).
33 * Observers see the i_version as a 64-bit number that never decreases. If it
34 * remains the same since it was last checked, then nothing has changed in the
35 * inode. If it's different then something has changed. Observers cannot infer
36 * anything about the nature or magnitude of the changes from the value, only
37 * that the inode has changed in some fashion.
39 * Not all filesystems properly implement the i_version counter. Subsystems that
40 * want to use i_version field on an inode should first check whether the
41 * filesystem sets the SB_I_VERSION flag (usually via the IS_I_VERSION macro).
43 * Those that set SB_I_VERSION will automatically have their i_version counter
44 * incremented on writes to normal files. If the SB_I_VERSION is not set, then
45 * the VFS will not touch it on writes, and the filesystem can use it how it
46 * wishes. Note that the filesystem is always responsible for updating the
47 * i_version on namespace changes in directories (mkdir, rmdir, unlink, etc.).
48 * We consider these sorts of filesystems to have a kernel-managed i_version.
50 * It may be impractical for filesystems to keep i_version updates atomic with
51 * respect to the changes that cause them. They should, however, guarantee
52 * that i_version updates are never visible before the changes that caused
53 * them. Also, i_version updates should never be delayed longer than it takes
54 * the original change to reach disk.
56 * This implementation uses the low bit in the i_version field as a flag to
57 * track when the value has been queried. If it has not been queried since it
58 * was last incremented, we can skip the increment in most cases.
60 * In the event that we're updating the ctime, we will usually go ahead and
61 * bump the i_version anyway. Since that has to go to stable storage in some
62 * fashion, we might as well increment it as well.
64 * With this implementation, the value should always appear to observers to
65 * increase over time if the file has changed. It's recommended to use
66 * inode_eq_iversion() helper to compare values.
68 * Note that some filesystems (e.g. NFS and AFS) just use the field to store
69 * a server-provided value (for the most part). For that reason, those
70 * filesystems do not set SB_I_VERSION. These filesystems are considered to
71 * have a self-managed i_version.
73 * Persistently storing the i_version
74 * ----------------------------------
75 * Queries of the i_version field are not gated on them hitting the backing
76 * store. It's always possible that the host could crash after allowing
77 * a query of the value but before it has made it to disk.
79 * To mitigate this problem, filesystems should always use
80 * inode_set_iversion_queried when loading an existing inode from disk. This
81 * ensures that the next attempted inode increment will result in the value
82 * changing.
84 * Storing the value to disk therefore does not count as a query, so those
85 * filesystems should use inode_peek_iversion to grab the value to be stored.
86 * There is no need to flag the value as having been queried in that case.
90 * We borrow the lowest bit in the i_version to use as a flag to tell whether
91 * it has been queried since we last incremented it. If it has, then we must
92 * increment it on the next change. After that, we can clear the flag and
93 * avoid incrementing it again until it has again been queried.
