    tmpfs: add support for an i_version counter · 36f05cab
    Jeff Layton authored
    NFSv4 mandates a change attribute to avoid problems with timestamp
    granularity, which Linux implements using the i_version counter. This is
    particularly important when the underlying filesystem is fast.
    
    Give tmpfs an i_version counter. Since it doesn't have to be persistent,
    we can just turn on SB_I_VERSION and sprinkle some inode_inc_iversion
    calls in the right places.
    
    Also, while there is no formal spec for xattrs, most implementations
    update the ctime on setxattr. Fix shmem_xattr_handler_set to update the
    ctime and bump the i_version appropriately.
