Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 3/5] ntfs3: make crtime user-settable using ptime
Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 02:55:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261101015551.786044-4-koray.fra@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261101015551.786044-1-koray.fra@gmail.com>
Since NTFS supports user-settable file creation timestamps, map
provenance time (ptime) to NTFS file creation time (crtime) by using the
newly introduced ptime API (in commit "vfs: add provenance time
(ptime)").
To do this, update ntfs_fileattr_[gs]et(), ntfs_getattr() and make it
persist to disk in ni_write_inode().
The timestamp is now retrievable by using file_getattr() or statx(), and
is settable by using file_setattr() with the FS_XFLAG_PTIME flag.
