+/**
+ * Handles object reopens. Object reopens can be of 3 types. 2 are from
+ * oneshot crawler and 1 from the regular signer.
+ * ONESHOT CRAWLER:
+ * For those objects which were created before bitrot was enabled. oneshow
+ * crawler crawls the namespace and signs all the objects. It has to do
+ * the versioning before making bit-rot-stub send a sign notification.
+ * So it sends fsetxattr with BR_OBJECT_REOPEN as the value. And bit-rot-stub
+ * upon getting BR_OBJECT_REOPEN value checks if the version has to be
+ * increased or not. By default the version will be increased. But if the
+ * object is modified before BR_OBJECT_REOPEN from oneshot crawler, then
+ * versioning need not be done. In that case simply a success is returned.
+ * SIGNER:
+ * Signer wait for 2 minutes upon getting the notification from bit-rot-stub
+ * and then it sends a dummy write (in reality a fsetxattr) call, to change
+ * the state of the inode from REOPEN_WAIT to SIGN_QUICK. The funny part here
+ * is though the inode's state is REOPEN_WAIT, the call sent by signer is
+ * BR_OBJECT_RESIGN. Once the state is changed to SIGN_QUICK, then yet another
+ * notification is sent upon release (RESIGN would have happened via fsetxattr,
+ * so a fd is needed) and the object is signed truly this time.
+ * There is a challenge in the above RESIGN method by signer. After sending
+ * the 1st notification, the inode could be forgotten before RESIGN request
+ * is received. In that case, the inode's context (the newly looked up inode)
+ * would not indicate the inode as being modified (it would be in the default
+ * state) and because of this, a SIGN_QUICK notification to truly sign the
+ * object would not be sent. So, this is how its handled.
+ * if (request == RESIGN) {
+ *    if (inode->sign_info == NORMAL) {
+ *        mark_inode_non_dirty;
+ *        mark_inode_modified;
+ *    }
+ *    GOBACK (means unwind without doing versioning)
+ * }
