Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] ext4: don't increase iversion counter for ea_inodes
Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2022 14:37:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220812123727.46397-1-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)

ea_inodes are using i_version for storing part of the reference count so
we really need to leave it alone.

The problem can be reproduced by xfstest ext4/026 when iversion is
enabled. Fix it by not calling inode_inc_iversion() for EXT4_EA_INODE_FL
inodes in ext4_mark_iloc_dirty().
