Subject: [PATCH 06/10] fuse2fs: use coarse timestamps for iomap mode
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2025 16:46:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <175279461828.716436.6399243218938406982.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175279461680.716436.11923939115339176158.stgit@frogsfrogsfrogs>
From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org>
In iomap mode, the kernel is responsible for maintaining timestamps
because file writes don't upcall to fuse2fs. The kernel's predicate for
deciding if [cm]time should be updated bases its decisions off [cm]time
being an exact match for the coarse clock (instead of checking that
[cm]time < coarse_clock) which means that fuse2fs setting a fine-grained
timestamp that is slightly ahead of the coarse clock can result in
timestamps appearing to go backwards. generic/423 doesn't like seeing
btime > ctime from statx, so we'll use the coarse clock in iomap mode.
