Subject: [patch] Don't change ctime in truncate is size does not change
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 10:32:51 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080218233251.GV155407@sgi.com> (raw)
XFS changes the c/mtime of an inode when truncating it to the same
size. The c/mtime is only supposed to change if the size is changed.
Not to be confused with ftruncate, where the c/mtime is supposed to
be changed even if the size is not changed.
The Linux VFS encodes this semantic difference in the flags it sends
down to ->setattr, which XFS currently ignores. We need to make XFS
pay attention to the VFS flags and hence Do The Right Thing.
