[PATCH v8 7/8] nfsd: use the getattr operation to fetch i_version

Jeff Layton
2022-10-21T13:07:11Z

Now that we can call into vfs_getattr to get the i_version field, use
that facility to fetch it instead of doing it in nfsd4_change_attribute.

Neil also pointed out recently that IS_I_VERSION directory operations
are always logged, and so we only need to mitigate the rollback problem
on regular files. Also, we don't need to factor in the ctime when
reexporting NFS or Ceph.

Set the STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE (and BTIME) bits in the request when we're
dealing with a v4 request. Then, instead of looking at IS_I_VERSION when
generating the change attr, look at the result mask and only use it if
STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE is set.

Change nfsd4_change_attribute to only factor in the ctime if it's a
regular file and the fs doesn't advertise STATX_ATTR_CHANGE_MONOTONIC.
