This should be fine. There are already instances that use local timespecs for inode time assignments. These can be changed this way: + ctime = vfs_time_to_timespec(current_time(old.inode)); + old.inode->i_ctime = timespec_to_vfs_time(ctime); + new.inode->i_ctime = timespec_to_vfs_time(ctime); This could be a little inefficient, but only temporary. The local variable can be changed to timespec64 when the macros are deleted. I'm trying to make minimal changes. -Deepa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
