Note that when ext4 is mounted with the "i_version" option that the i_version field is also updated on regular files, for use by NFSv4. See, for example, ext4_mark_iloc_dirty().

I had a hard time finding this, even though I knew it was there somewhere, because it isn't modifying "i_version" directly, but rather calling a helper function inode_inc_iversion().

It probably makes sense to always return i_version, unless it is 0.

Cheers, Andreas
