[PATCH v6 6/7] ext4: switch to multigrain timestamps

Jeff Layton jlayton at kernel.org
Tue Jul 25 07:58:19 PDT 2023


Enable multigrain timestamps, which should ensure that there is an
apparent change to the timestamp whenever it has been written after
being actively observed via getattr.

For ext4, we only need to enable the FS_MGTIME flag.
