It just occurred to me:
If i_version is 64bit, then knfsd would need to be careful when
reading it on a 32bit host. What are the locking rules?
Presumably it is only updated under i_mutex protection, but having to
get i_mutex to read it would seem a little heavy handed.
Should it use a seqlock like i_size?
Could we use the same seqlock that i_size uses, or would we need a
separate one?
