[LU-8834] Don't hide new functionality behind ioctls.

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 2.10.0
• Fix Version/s: Upstream
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Oleg Drokin
• Reporter: James A Simmons

Description

The patch for LL_IOC_FUTIMES_3 was rejected upstream due to the functionality being done with a ioctl. Greg has requested that we don't make up new syscalls by making an ioctl. Please, make a new syscall if that's what you really need! This also impacts the ladvise work.
