When fetching the ctime's nsec value for a stat-like operation, do a simple fetch first and avoid the atomic_fetch_or if the flag is already set. Suggested-by: Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm running tests on this now, but I don't expect any problems. This is based on top of Christian's vfs.mgtime branch. It may be best to squash this into 6feb43ecdd8e ("fs: add infrastructure for multigrain timestamps"). --- To: Alexander Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> To: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Cc: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --- fs/stat.c | 9 ++++++--- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/stat.c b/fs/stat.c index f2bf7cca64b2..9eb6d9b2d010 100644 --- a/fs/stat.c +++ b/fs/stat.c @@ -35,8 +35,8 @@ * @inode: inode from which to grab the c/mtime * * Given @inode, grab the ctime and mtime out if it and store the result - * in @stat.
