The patch titled Subject: fat: report creation time in statx has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is fat-report-creation-time-in-statx.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/fat-report-creation-time-in-statx.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Chung-Chiang Cheng <cccheng@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fat: report creation time in statx Date: Tue, 3 May 2022 23:25:35 +0800 creation time is no longer mixed with change time. Add an in-memory field for it, and report it in statx if supported.
