A rename is not a "read" operation. I'll note it in the changelog. The i_crtime in exfat is the creation time (aka btime). I don't think it matters much which source that ultimately comes from, but now I'm wondering why it gets set here at all. Does exfat create a new inode during a rename? If not, then the i_crtime updates here should probably be removed. > > exfat_truncate_atime(&new_dir->i_atime); > > if (IS_DIRSYNC(new_dir)) > > exfat_sync_inode(new_dir); > > @@ -1336,7 +1336,6 @@ static int exfat_rename(struct mnt_idmap *idmap, > > } > > > > inode_inc_iversion(old_dir); > > - old_dir->i_ctime = old_dir->i_mtime = current_time(old_dir); > > if (IS_DIRSYNC(old_dir)) > > exfat_sync_inode(old_dir); > > else > > Also there is: > > new_inode->i_ctime = EXFAT_I(new_inode)->i_crtime = > current_time(new_inode); > > in exfat_rename() from which you can remove the ctime update? > Yeah, that should be removed too. I'll fix that in my tree. The i_crtime update here looks pretty suspicious too, fwiw. Thanks! -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
