[PATCH v5 4/8] vfs: plumb i_version handling into struct kstat

[Jeff Layton]

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>

The NFS server has a lot of special handling for different types of
change attribute access, depending on what sort of inode we have. In
most cases, it's doing a getattr anyway and then fetching that value
after the fact.

Rather that do that, add a new STATX_INO_VERSION flag that is a
kernel-only symbol (for now). If requested and getattr can implement it,
it can fill out this field. For IS_I_VERSION inodes, add a generic
implementation in vfs_getattr_nosec. Take care to mask STATX_INO_VERSION
off in requests from userland and in the result mask.

Eventually if we decide to make this available to userland, we can just
designate a field for it in struct statx, and move the STATX_INO_VERSION
definition to the uapi header.
