From: Tavian Barnes <tavianator@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In nfsd4_encode_fattr(), TIME_CREATE was being written out after all other times. However, they should be written out in an order that matches the bit flags in bmval1, which in this case are #define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_ACCESS (1UL << 15) #define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_CREATE (1UL << 18) #define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_DELTA (1UL << 19) #define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_METADATA (1UL << 20) #define FATTR4_WORD1_TIME_MODIFY (1UL << 21) so TIME_CREATE should come second. I noticed this on a FreeBSD NFSv4.2 client, which supports creation times. On this client, file times were weirdly permuted. With this patch applied on the server, times looked normal on the client.
