Subject: The demise of notify_change.
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 21:19:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C11A2E7.5070306@sciencething.org> (raw)
Somewhen between 2.2.x and 2.4.x notify_change disappeared from
super_operations. What is the accepted practice now for updating an
inode's persistent state? Should one use write_inode for the same
purpose or should one rely on file_operations::setattr (excuse the
c++ism)? Or is there something entirely different that one should do?
With apologies for being behind the times (I'm trying to update a
filesystem I wrote for 2.0.x, which fact dates me accurately.),
Britt
P.S. I promise to send REG amendments to his VFS doc when I get done.
