From ac1334bfdae33be17ae6ae641bbbd1e6a2f04005 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kazuya Mio Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 16:34:29 +0900 Subject: ext3: Update ctime in ext3_splice_branch() only when needed Currently ext3 updates ctime in ext3_splice_branch() which is called whenever we allocate one block. But it is wasteful because ext3 doesn't support nanosecond timestamp. This leads to a performance loss.
