Linux 6.12: f_version removed from struct file
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
linux/torvalds@11068e0b64cb removes it, suggesting this was a always
there as a helper to handle concurrent seeks, which all filesystems now
handle themselves if necessary.

Without looking into the mechanism, I can imagine how it might have been
used, but we have always set it to zero and never read from it,
presumably because we've always tracked per-caller position through the
znode anyway. So I don't see how there can be any functional change for
us by removing it. I've stayed conservative though and left it in for
older kernels, since its clearly not hurting anything there.
