Ok. I missed this commit b8e69066d8afa8d2670dc697252ff0e5907aafad earlier which says that the r_stamp is used as ctime now. I had assumed that this is a message timestamp.
I was not able to find any documentation on what the server does with the message sent by the client. Where can I find that?
So, this should actually look like
req->r_stamp = current_fs_time(mdsc->fsc->sb);
Let me know if you want me to resend.
I see that the timestamp is sent using
ceph_encode_copy(&p, &req->r_stamp, sizeof(req->r_stamp));
What happens with the timestamp across reboots if we change the type? I assume the data will not be used across reboots, if it does, we already have a problem on machines that can boot both big-endian and little-endian kernels, or that can boot both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.
