Ah, ok. I was misreading some.

inode_update_timestamps() checks IS_I_VERSION() now, not S_VERSION.  So,
if adding the check of IS_I_VERSION() and (S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION) to
FAT?

With it, IS_I_VERSION() would be false on FAT, and I'm fine.

I.e. something like

	if ((flags & (S_VERSION|S_CTIME|S_MTIME)) && IS_I_VERSION(inode)
	    && inode_maybe_inc_iversion(inode, false))
  		dirty_flags |= I_DIRTY_SYNC;

Thanks.
