[RFC 32/32] fs: use new inode_time definition unconditionally

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After all file systems have been converted to use 'struct inode_time'
for timestamps, we can remove the compatibility definition for this
structure.

This patch picks the first of the three variants I defined, but we
could pick one of the others as well.
