Subject: Re: [EXT4 set 4][PATCH 1/5] i_version:64 bit inode version
Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:05:27 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18068.25879.745638.343290@notabene.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: message from Neil Brown on Wednesday July 11
It just occurred to me:
If i_version is 64bit, then knfsd would need to be careful when
reading it on a 32bit host. What are the locking rules?
Presumably it is only updated under i_mutex protection, but having to
get i_mutex to read it would seem a little heavy handed.
Should it use a seqlock like i_size?
Could we use the same seqlock that i_size uses, or would we need a
separate one?
