Merge tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux

Pull inode->i_version rework from Jeff Layton:
 "This pile of patches is a rework of the inode->i_version field. We
  have traditionally incremented that field on every inode data or
  metadata change. Typically this increment needs to be logged on disk
  even when nothing else has changed, which is rather expensive.

  It turns out though that none of the consumers of that field actually
  require this behavior. The only real requirement for all of them is
  that it be different iff the inode has changed since the last time the
  field was checked.

  Given that, we can optimize away most of the i_version increments and
  avoid dirtying inode metadata when the only change is to the i_version
  and no one is querying it. Queries of the i_version field are rather
  rare, so we can help write performance under many common workloads.

  This patch series converts existing accesses of the i_version field to
  a new API, and then converts all of the in-kernel filesystems to use
  it. The last patch in the series then converts the backend
  implementation to a scheme that optimizes away a large portion of the
  metadata updates when no one is looking at it.

  In my own testing this series significantly helps performance with
  small I/O sizes. I also got this email for Christmas this year from
  the kernel test robot (a 244% r/w bandwidth improvement with XFS over
  DAX, with 4k writes):

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/12/25/8

  A few of the earlier patches in this pile are also flowing to you via
  other trees (mm, integrity, and nfsd trees in particular)".

* tag 'iversion-v4.16-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: (22 commits)
  fs: handle inode->i_version more efficiently

  fs: new API for handling inode->i_version
  ntfs: remove i_version handling
