FAT supports creation time but not change time, and there was no corresponding timestamp for creation time in previous VFS. The original implementation took the compromise of saving the in-memory change time into the on-disk creation time field, but this would lead to compatibility issues with non-linux systems. To address this issue, this patch changes the behavior of ctime. It will no longer be loaded and stored from the creation time on disk. Instead of that, it'll be consistent with the in-memory mtime and share the same on-disk field. All updates to mtime will also be applied to ctime in memory, while all updates to ctime will be ignored.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
