Subject: [PATCH 19/53] afs: use d_time instead of d_fsdata
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 08:12:06 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312214330.3885211-20-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312214330.3885211-1-neilb@ownmail.net>

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

afs uses ->d_fsdata to store version information for the parent
directory.  ->d_time is arguably a better field to store this
information as the version is like a time stamp, and ->d_time is an
unsigned long, while ->d_fsdata is a void *.

This will leave ->d_fsdata free for a different use ...  which
admittedly is also not a void*, but is certainly not at all a time.

Interesting the value stored in ->d_time or d_fsdata is u64 which is a
different size of 32 bit hosts.  Maybe that doesn't matter.
