I have a patchset queued up for ceph that adds btime (birthtime) support to it. What was lacking though was a mechanism to get the btime out of the inode. Rather than cook up a brand new interface just for the btime, I decided to "borrow" the work that David Howells did with the new proposed statx() interface. The pull request to add this to ceph is up here: https://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/9965 Sage has already closed it out which I take to mean that he has pulled the patches into a staging branch for eventual merge. It occurs to me though that I didn't ask anyone who is working on the samba vfs or ganesha fsal code whether they think this interface is acceptable. Since Samba and Ganesha are the targeted users of this interface, it'd be good to have developers from both communities take a look and see if there are any problems here. Does anyone see any issues with the above pull request? -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
