[PATCH 15/45] xfs: log timestamp updates

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

 



Timestampts on regular files are the last metadata that XFS doesn't log
directly.  There is no performance reason for this now that transactional
updates scale very well.

In addition removing the last unlogged inode updates allows removing a lot
of infrastructure for dealing with them.

XXX: add back support for fdatasync, aka not forcing out pure timestamp
updates in fsync.
