When updating the ctime, we also want to update i_version. This is just something I noticed by inspection. There is probably no way to test this today unless you can somehow get to this inode via nfsd. Still, I think it's the right thing to do for consistency's sake. David Sterba's comment: I don't see anything wrong with setting the iversion bit, however I also don't see where this would be useful. Agreed with the consistency, otherwise the time is updated when device super block is wiped or a device initialized, both are big events so missing that due to lack of iversion update seems unlikely. I'll add it to the queue, thanks. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> [ add comments ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
