    ext4: Add nanosecond timestamps · ef7f3835
    Kalpak Shah 提交于
    This patch adds nanosecond timestamps for ext4. This involves adding
    *time_extra fields to the ext4_inode to extend the timestamps to
    64-bits.  Creation time is also added by this patch.
    
    These extended fields will fit into an inode if the filesystem was
    formatted with large inodes (-I 256 or larger) and there are currently
    no EAs consuming all of the available space. For new inodes we always
    reserve enough space for the kernel's known extended fields, but for
    inodes created with an old kernel this might not have been the case. So
    this patch also adds the EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_EXTRA_ISIZE feature
    flag(ro-compat so that older kernels can't create inodes with a smaller
    extra_isize). which indicates if the fields fitting inside
    s_min_extra_isize are available or not.  If the expansion of inodes if
    unsuccessful then this feature will be disabled.  This feature is only
    enabled if requested by the sysadmin.
    
    None of the extended inode fields is critical for correct filesystem
    operation.
