If writeback_cache is enabled, then the size, mtime and ctime attributes of regular files are always valid in the kernel's cache. They are retrieved from userspace only when the inode is freshly looked up. Add a more generic "cache_mask", that indicates which attributes are currently valid in cache. This patch doesn't change behavior. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
