Subject: [PATCH] prevent a race between name-based stat and an open modifying
atime
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Most linux systems rarely update atime, so it's very unlikely
for this issue to trigger there, but on a system with classic atime
behaviour this was a race between open modifying atime and time()
ticking over.
