From de4a95faf173be1e798c37ca486dfcb234a0941b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karsten Blees Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:13:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] time: Fix nanosecond file time rounding in timespec_trunc() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit timespec_trunc() avoids rounding if granularity <= nanoseconds-per-jiffie (or TICK_NSEC). This optimization assumes that: 1. current_kernel_time().tv_nsec is already rounded to TICK_NSEC (i.e. with HZ=1000 you'd get 1000000, 2000000, 3000000... but never 1000001). This is no longer true (probably since hrtimers introduced in 2.6.16). 2. TICK_NSEC is evenly divisible by all possible granularities. This may be true for HZ=100, 250, 1000, but obviously not for HZ=300 / TICK_NSEC=3333333 (introduced in 2.6.20). Thus, sub-second portions of in-core file times are not rounded to on-disk granularity. I.e. file times may change when the inode is re-read from disk or when the file system is remounted. This affects all file systems with file time granularities > 1 ns and < 1s, e.g. CEPH (1000 ns), UDF (1000 ns), CIFS (100 ns), NTFS (100 ns) and FUSE (configurable from user mode via struct fuse_init_out.time_gran). Steps to reproduce with e.g. UDF: $ dd if=/dev/zero of=udfdisk count=10000 && mkudffs udfdisk $ mkdir udf && mount udfdisk udf $ touch udf/test && stat -c %y udf/test 2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006767 +0200 $ umount udf && mount udfdisk udf $ stat -c %y udf/test 2015-06-09 10:22:56.130006000 +0200 Remounting truncates the mtime to 1 µs. Fix the rounding in timespec_trunc() and update the documentation. timespec_trunc() is exclusively used to calculate inode's [acm]time (mostly via current_fs_time()), and always with super_block.s_time_gran as second argument. So this can safely be changed without side effects. Note: This does _not_ fix the issue for FAT's 2 second mtime resolution, as super_block.s_time_gran isn't prepared to handle different ctime / mtime / atime resolutions nor resolutions > 1 second.
