From 630458e730b82efe1f6eb90e6bcabad02fe76e20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 14:45:06 -0400 Subject: nfsd4: factor ctime into change attribute Factoring ctime into the nfsv4 change attribute gives us better properties than just i_version alone. Eventually we'll likely also expose this (as opposed to raw i_version) to userspace, at which point we'll want to move it to a common helper, called from either userspace or individual filesystems. For now, nfsd is the only user. Signed-off-by: J.
