From 5b7e3e9c2c6d7c985c61f778af90c365d54fa298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Layton Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 12:30:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: update target inode's ctime on unlink [ Upstream commit 3bc2ac2f8f0b78a13140fc72022771efe0c9b778 ] Unlink changes the link count on the target inode. POSIX mandates that the ctime must also change when this occurs. According to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/unlink.html: "Upon successful completion, unlink() shall mark for update the last data modification and last file status change timestamps of the parent directory. Also, if the file's link count is not 0, the last file status change timestamp of the file shall be marked for update."
