inode_iversion_need_inc — is the i_version in need of being incremented?

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool inode_iversion_need_inc (struct inode *inode );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • inode — inode to check

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this one is literally a vibe check for the inode’s version counter: it returns whether the inode->i_version counter needs incrementing on the next change. The whole move is just fetching the value and checking the QUERIED flag. no cap, that’s the tea ☕✨
