This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled afs: Fix setting of mtime when creating a file/dir/symlink to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: afs-fix-setting-of-mtime-when-creating-a-file-dir-sy.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e33e2e35689271f1b476a7002c3e5837fcfffc20 Author: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jun 7 09:47:13 2023 +0100 afs: Fix setting of mtime when creating a file/dir/symlink [ Upstream commit a27648c742104a833a01c54becc24429898d85bf ] kafs incorrectly passes a zero mtime (ie. 1st Jan 1970) to the server when creating a file, dir or symlink because the mtime recorded in the afs_operation struct gets passed to the server by the marshalling routines, but the afs_mkdir(), afs_create() and afs_symlink() functions don't set it. This gets masked if a file or directory is subsequently modified. Fix this by filling in op->mtime before calling the create op.
