Subject: [PATCH 01/14] fs: refactor file timestamp update logic
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 07:26:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114062642.1524837-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114062642.1524837-1-hch@lst.de>
Currently the two high-level APIs use two helper functions to implement
almost all of the logic. Refactor the two helpers and the common logic
into a new file_update_time_flags routine that gets the iocb flags or
0 in case of file_update_time passed so that the entire logic is
contained in a single function and can be easily understood and modified.
