From: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@xxxxxxxxx> commit 69738cfdfa7032f45d9e7462d24490e61cf163dd upstream. According to the comment in the code and commit log, some apps expect atime >= mtime; but the introduced code results in atime==mtime. Fix the comparison to guard against atime<mtime. Fixes: 9b9c5bea0b96 ("cifs: do not return atime less than mtime") Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-cifs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Steve French <stfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/cifs/inode.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/fs/cifs/inode.c +++ b/fs/cifs/inode.c @@ -163,7 +163,7 @@ cifs_fattr_to_inode(struct inode *inode, spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); /* we do not want atime to be less than mtime, it broke some apps */ - if (timespec64_compare(&fattr->cf_atime, &fattr->cf_mtime)) + if (timespec64_compare(&fattr->cf_atime, &fattr->cf_mtime) < 0) inode->i_atime = fattr->cf_mtime; else inode->i_atime = fattr->cf_atime;
