Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: don't update atime on RO subvolumes
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 14:50:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337950243-5992-1-git-send-email-ablock84@googlemail.com> (raw)
Before the update_time inode operation was indroduced, it was
not possible to prevent updates of atime on RO subvolumes.
btrfs_update_time does now check if the root is RO and skip
updating of atime.
This patch requires the update_time patches from Josef
Bacik.
