I think it is ok to truncate to the right granularity also here. setattr callbacks do it already. So the diff here looks like below: - newattrs.ia_atime.tv_sec = - clamp(times[0].tv_sec, sb->s_time_min, sb->s_time_max); - if (times[0].tv_sec == sb->s_time_max || times[0].tv_sec == sb->s_time_min) - newattrs.ia_atime.tv_nsec = 0; - else - newattrs.ia_atime.tv_nsec = times[0].tv_nsec; + newattrs.ia_atime = timestamp_truncate(times[0], inode); Thanks, Deepa
