From 4d4be482a4d78ca906f45e99fd9fdb91e907f5ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 04:47:33 -0500 Subject: [XFS] add a FMODE flag to make XFS invisible I/O less hacky XFS has a mode called invisble I/O that doesn't update any of the timestamps. It's used for HSM-style applications and exposed through the nasty open by handle ioctl. Instead of doing directly assignment of file operations that set an internal flag for it add a new FMODE_NOCMTIME flag that we can check in the normal file operations. (addition of the generic VFS flag has been ACKed by Al as an interims solution) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Lachlan McIlroy --- include/linux/fs.h | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/fs.h b/include/linux/fs.h index 51bd9370d437..965b9ba3865d 100644 --- a/include/linux/fs.h +++ b/include/linux/fs.h @@ -81,6 +81,14 @@ extern int dir_notify_enable; #define FMODE_WRITE_IOCTL ((__force fmode_t)128) #define FMODE_NDELAY_NOW ((__force fmode_t)256) +/* + * Don't update ctime and mtime. + * + * Currently a special hack for the XFS open_by_handle ioctl, but we'll + * hopefully graduate it to a proper O_CMTIME flag supported by open(2) soon. + */ +#define FMODE_NOCMTIME ((__force fmode_t)2048) + #define RW_MASK 1 #define RWA_MASK 2 #define READ 0 -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
