Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <20150323023740.8161.72217.stgit@notabene.brown> In-Reply-To: <20150323023258.8161.32467.stgit@notabene.brown> References: <20150323023258.8161.32467.stgit@notabene.brown> User-Agent: StGit/0.17.1-dirty MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org touch_atime is not RCU-safe, and so cannot be called on an RCU walk. However in situations where RCU-walk makes a difference, the symlink will likely to accessed much more often than it is useful to update the atime. So split out the test of "Does the atime actually need to be updated" into atime_needs_update(), and only allow RCU-walk on a symlink if that fails.
