At this point, we know that "now" and the file times may differ, and we
suspect that the i_version has been flagged to be bumped. Attempt to
bump the i_version, and only mark the inode dirty if that actually
occurred or if one of the times was updated.

Hi btrfs folks!

I posted this set just before xmas, and am hoping to send Linus a PR for
it when the next merge window opens. Both the ext4 and xfs folks have
acked their respective parts.

I'll note that this set helps small I/O workloads on xfs and ext4
significantly, but somewhat less so on btrfs. I'd also appreciate any
insight as to why it doesn't help on btrfs as much, and whether we can
alter this approach to help things there.

Many thanks!

I don't have an idea why this does not help that much but I'm going to
ack the patchse so you can push the patchset forward.
