From 44d814ced4cffbfe6a775c5bb8b941a6e734e7d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Chinner Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 13:45:29 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] [XFS] Update c/mtime correctly on truncates 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.
