>From 3d56c131b58a21c05bcd677b9d2ba915abcbf195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yangsheng Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 21:46:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: update atimes over one day in the past or future Relatime should update the inode atime if it is more than one day in the future. The original problem seen was a tarball that had a bad atime in the distant future, but could also happen if someone fat-fingers a "touch". The future atime will never be fixed. Without relatime enabled, a future atime is updated to the current kernel time on access. Relatime is meant to reduce the frequency of atime updates, not decide if whether the system clock or the inode timestamp is correct or not.
