hi Darrick,

In the current implementation, xattr inode format is assumed to be in
the new format (refcount in i_ctime and l_i_version, hash in i_atime).
parent xattr e_hash field incorporates xattr inode hash to achieve
strong binding. If hash validation fails, we fallback to old binding
validation (xattr inode i_mtime == parent ino && xattr inode
i_generation == parent i_generation). The idea is to allow migration
from old lustre disks. So, if refcount is valid then value in i_mtime
is not defined.
