Subject: [PATCH 1/3] nfs: use change attribute for NFS re-exports
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:24:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1611084297-27352-2-git-send-email-bfields@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1611084297-27352-1-git-send-email-bfields@redhat.com>

From: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@redhat.com>

When exporting NFS, we may as well use the real change attribute
returned by the original server instead of faking up a change attribute
from the ctime.

Note we can't do that by setting I_VERSION--that would also turn on the
logic in iversion.h which treats the lower bit specially, and that
doesn't make sense for NFS.

So instead we define a new export operation for filesystems like NFS
that want to manage the change attribute themselves.
