Description Alan Somers freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-25 01:06:26 UTC
If a file system's on-disk format does not support st_birthtime, it isn't clear what value it should return in stat(2).  Neither our man page nor the OpenGroup specifies.  But our convention is to return { .tv_sec = -1, .tv_nsec = 0 }.  fusefs is different.  It returns { .tv_sec = -1, .tv_nsec = -1 }.  It's done that ever since the initial import in SVN r241519.

Most software apparently handles this just fine.  It must, because we've had no complaints.  But the Rust standard library will panic when reading such a timestamp during std::fs::metadata, even if the caller doesn't care about that particular value.  That's a bug, and should be fixed.  But we can help out by never returning such values.

Out of curiosity does FUSE on Linux do the same thing?
Comment 2 Alan Somers freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-01-25 14:12:21 UTC
On Linux birthtime is reported via statx(2), not stat(2).  And statx has a stx_mask field to tell the caller which fields are valid.  Calling statx on a file on a fuse mountpoint, the valid bit is not set for btime.

    fusefs: fix invalid value for st_birthtime.tv_nsec

    If a file system's on-disk format does not support st_birthtime, it
    isn't clear what value it should return in stat(2).  Neither our man
    page nor the OpenGroup specifies.  But our convention for UFS and
    msdosfs is to return { .tv_sec = -1, .tv_nsec = 0 }.  fusefs is
    different.  It returns { .tv_sec = -1, .tv_nsec = -1 }.  It's done that
    ever since the initial import in SVN r241519.

    Most software apparently handles this just fine.  It must, because we've
    had no complaints.  But the Rust standard library will panic when
    reading such a timestamp during std::fs::metadata, even if the caller
    doesn't care about that particular value.  That's a separate bug, and
    should be fixed.

    Change our invalid value to match msdosfs and ufs, pacifying the Rust
    standard library.
