inode_set_max_iversion_raw(9)

💅 inode_set_max_iversion_raw(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally called inode_set_max_iversion_raw. It's giving "tiny function, very specific job, main character energy." 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

inode_set_max_iversion_raw — update i_version, but only when the new value is larger 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void inode_set_max_iversion_raw (struct inode *inode , u64 val );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• inode — the inode you're setting, bestie. that's the target 💅
• val — the new i_version value you wanna set ⭐

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, some filesystems manage this themselves (Ceph is the example, iykyk 👑), and they only update the i_version value if the new value is larger than the one we already have. no cap, that's the whole vibe check. 🔥
