commit a642c2c0827f5604a93f9fa1e5701eecdce4ae22 upstream.
ext4 currently updates the i_version counter when the atime is updated during a read. This is less than ideal as it can cause unnecessary cache invalidations with NFSv4 and unnecessary remeasurements for IMA.
The increment in ext4_mark_iloc_dirty is also problematic since it can corrupt the i_version counter for ea_inodes. We aren't bumping the file times in ext4_mark_iloc_dirty, so changing the i_version there seems wrong, and is the cause of both problems.
Remove that callsite and add increments to the setattr, setxattr and ioctl codepaths, at the same times that we update the ctime. The i_version bump that already happens during timestamp updates should take care of the rest.
In ext4_move_extents, increment the i_version on both inodes, and also add in missing ctime updates.
[ Some minor updates since we've already enabled the i_version counter unconditionally already via another patch series. -- TYT ]
