Following up on "As long as the fs isn't touching i_ctime_nsec directly, you shouldn't need to worry about this" from: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/cae5c28f172ac57b7eaaa98a00b23f342f01ba64.ca...@kernel.org/ xfs /does/ touch i_ctime_nsec directly when it's writing inodes to disk. >From xfs_inode_to_disk, see: to->di_ctime = xfs_inode_to_disk_ts(ip, inode_get_ctime(inode)); AFAICT, inode_get_ctime itself remains unchanged, and still returns inode->__i_ctime, right? In which case it's returning a raw timespec64, which can include the QUERIED flag in tv_nsec, right? Now let's look at the consumer: static inline xfs_timestamp_t xfs_inode_to_disk_ts( struct xfs_inode *ip, const struct timespec64 tv) { struct xfs_legacy_timestamp *lts; xfs_timestamp_t ts; if (xfs_inode_has_bigtime(ip)) return cpu_to_be64(xfs_inode_encode_bigtime(tv)); lts = (struct xfs_legacy_timestamp *)&ts; lts->t_sec = cpu_to_be32(tv.tv_sec); lts->t_nsec = cpu_to_be32(tv.tv_nsec); return ts; } For the !bigtime case (aka before we added y2038 support) the queried flag gets encoded into the tv_nsec field since xfs doesn't filter the queried flag. For the bigtime case, the timespec is turned into an absolute nsec count since the xfs epoch (which is the minimum timestamp possible under the old encoding scheme): static inline uint64_t xfs_inode_encode_bigtime(struct timespec64 tv) { return xfs_unix_to_bigtime(tv.tv_sec) * NSEC_PER_SEC + tv.tv_nsec; } Here we'd also be mixing in the QUERIED flag, only now we've encoded a time that's a second in the future. I think the solution is to add a: static inline struct timespec64 inode_peek_ctime(const struct inode *inode) { return (struct timespec64){ .tv_sec = inode->__i_ctime.tv_sec, .tv_nsec = inode->__i_ctime.tv_nsec & ~I_CTIME_QUERIED, }; } similar to what inode_peek_iversion does for iversion; and then xfs_inode_to_disk can do: to->di_ctime = xfs_inode_to_disk_ts(ip, inode_peek_ctime(inode)); which would prevent I_CTIME_QUERIED from going out to disk. At load time, xfs_inode_from_disk uses inode_set_ctime_to_ts so I think xfs won't accidentally introduce QUERIED when it's loading an inode from disk. --D > Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlay...@kernel.org> > --- > fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c | 6 +++--- > fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c | 10 +++------- > fs/xfs/xfs_super.c | 2 +- > 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c > index 69fc5b981352..1f3639bbf5f0 100644 > --- a/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c > +++ b/fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_trans_inode.c > @@ -62,12 +62,12 @@ xfs_trans_ichgtime( > ASSERT(tp); > xfs_assert_ilocked(ip, XFS_ILOCK_EXCL); > > - tv = current_time(inode); > + /* If the mtime changes, then ctime must also change */ > + ASSERT(flags & XFS_ICHGTIME_CHG); > > + tv = inode_set_ctime_current(inode); > if (flags & XFS_ICHGTIME_MOD) > inode_set_mtime_to_ts(inode, tv); > - if (flags & XFS_ICHGTIME_CHG) > - inode_set_ctime_to_ts(inode, tv); > if (flags & XFS_ICHGTIME_CREATE) > ip->i_crtime = tv; > } > diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c > index a00dcbc77e12..d25872f818fa 100644 > --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c > +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c > @@ -592,8 +592,9 @@ xfs_vn_getattr( > stat->gid = vfsgid_into_kgid(vfsgid); > stat->ino = ip->i_ino; > stat->atime = inode_get_atime(inode); > - stat->mtime = inode_get_mtime(inode); > - stat->ctime = inode_get_ctime(inode); > + > + fill_mg_cmtime(stat, request_mask, inode); > + > stat->blocks = XFS_FSB_TO_BB(mp, ip->i_nblocks + ip->i_delayed_blks); > > if (xfs_has_v3inodes(mp)) { > @@ -603,11 +604,6 @@ xfs_vn_getattr( > } > } > > - if ((request_mask & STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) && IS_I_VERSION(inode)) { > - stat->change_cookie = inode_query_iversion(inode); > - stat->result_mask |= STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE; > - } > - > /* > * Note: If you add another clause to set an attribute flag, please > * update attributes_mask below. > diff --git a/fs/xfs/xfs_super.c b/fs/xfs/xfs_super.c > index 27e9f749c4c7..210481b03fdb 100644 > --- a/fs/xfs/xfs_super.c > +++ b/fs/xfs/xfs_super.c > @@ -2052,7 +2052,7 @@ static struct file_system_type xfs_fs_type = { > .init_fs_context = xfs_init_fs_context, > .parameters = xfs_fs_parameters, > .kill_sb = xfs_kill_sb, > - .fs_flags = FS_REQUIRES_DEV | FS_ALLOW_IDMAP, > + .fs_flags = FS_REQUIRES_DEV | FS_ALLOW_IDMAP | FS_MGTIME, > }; > MODULE_ALIAS_FS("xfs"); > > > -- > 2.45.2 >
