[PATCH] f2fs: update inode ctime on exchange rename
From: Hungyu Lin
Date: Sun Nov 01 2026 - 19:49:01 EST
When two regular files are exchanged with renameat2(RENAME_EXCHANGE),
their ctimes remain unchanged. f2fs_cross_rename() applies its explicit
ctime updates and dirty marking to old_dir and new_dir, which have
already been updated by f2fs_set_link().
Update old_inode and new_inode instead, matching the ordinary rename
path. Keep the existing parent link-count handling, which dirties the
parents through f2fs_i_links_write().
Fixes: 32f9bc25cbda ("f2fs: support ->rename2()")
