[ Upstream commit 70b87f77294d16d3e567056ba4c9ee2b091a5b50 ] inode_query_iversion() can modify i_version. Depending on the exported filesystem, that may not be safe. For example, if you're re-exporting NFS, NFS stores the server's change attribute in i_version and does not expect it to be modified locally. This has been observed causing unnecessary cache invalidations. The way a filesystem indicates that it's OK to call inode_query_iverson() is by setting SB_I_VERSION. So, move the I_VERSION check out of encode_change(), where it's used only in GETATTR responses, to nfsd4_change_attribute(), which is also called for pre- and post- operation attributes. (Note we could also pull the NFSEXP_V4ROOT case into nfsd4_change_attribute() as well. That would actually be a no-op, since pre/post attrs are only used for metadata-modifying operations, and V4ROOT exports are read-only. But we might make the change in the future just for simplicity.) Reported-by: Daire Byrne <daire@dneg.com> Signed-off-by: J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
