Subject: [PATCH 6/6] exfat: map ptime to exFAT creation time with rename-over
Date: Sun,  5 Apr 2026 14:50:02 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260405195007.1306-7-DefendTheDisabled@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260405195007.1306-1-DefendTheDisabled@gmail.com>

Map ptime to the exFAT creation time field. exFAT creation time
has 10ms precision.

Getattr: report creation time as ptime.
Setattr: write ptime to i_crtime.
Rename-over: save target creation time before __exfat_rename, restore
  after. Preserves creation time across atomic saves.
