Subject: [EXT4 set 4][PATCH 3/5] i_version:ext4 inode version read/store

This patch adds 64-bit inode version support to ext4. The lower 32 bits
are stored in the osd1.linux1.l_i_version field while the high 32 bits
are stored in the i_version_hi field newly created in the ext4_inode.

So reading the code here does serve to answer the question I raised against
the earlier patch. A bit.

I'd have thought that this patch and the one which adds i_version_hi should
be folded into a single diff?

I don't quite see how the above two tests are sufficient to unambiguously
determine that the i_version_hi field is present on-disk.

I guess we're implicitly assuming that if the on-disk inode is big enough
then it _must_ have i_version_hi in there? If so, why is the comparison
with EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE needed?

Some description of the overall approach to inode version identification
would be helpful here.

There's no comparison with EXT4_GOOD_OLD_INODE_SIZE here...

It could be - the original patch to reserve i_version_hi was submitted to
before the patches were ready to avoid that space being used by something
else.

The GOOT_OLD_INODE_SIZE check is needed to know if i_extra_isize is even
present or valid in the on-disk inode.

Because this is the in-memory version and it is always valid (set to zero
if there is extra space in the on-disk inode).
