I've done the work to convert all of the accesses of i_ctime into accessor functions in the kernel. The current state of it is here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux.git/commit/?h=ctime As expected, it touches a lot of code, all over the place. So far I have most of the conversion in one giant patch, and I need to split it up (probably per-subsystem). What's the best way to feed this change into mainline? Should I try to get subsystem maintainers to pick these up, or are we better off feeding this in via a separate branch?
