Subject: i_generation consistency
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 18:11:21 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3DE348C9.4000404@shaolinmicro.com> (raw)

Hi Neil,

I am writing a file system and having problem implementing the 
i_generation of the inode. Should the i_generation be persistent in the 
disk? Or it has to be changed every time the dcache shrinks or reload 
after read_inode()? Should I check the i_generation in the fh_dentry() 
ops and include it in file handle or leave it to the NFS clients and 
nfsd and I should forget about implementing i_generation in file 
handles. Can you please clarify? Thanks.

regards,
David Chow
