REVISION SUMMARY Baloo uses the metadata change time (stat.st_ctime, man 7 inode) to check for XAttr updates. This field corresponds to QFileInfo::metadataChangeTime(), while created() returns the first available of [birthtime, ctime, mtime]. On filesystems supporting birthtime (XFS, BTRFS) some files were continously reindexed as the BasicIndexingJob stored the ctime, while the UnindexedFileIterator compared the stored value with the btime. On the other hand, XAttr changes where not detected when ctime and btime initially matched, as the btime is fixed. While at it, document the semantics of the two timestamps. TEST PLAN 1. watch baloo_file with strace -efile during startup -> files with btime != ctime are indexed just once 2. add a Tag to a file -> file is immediately updated in index, not just after baloo_file restart (e.g. session restart) REPOSITORY R293 Baloo BRANCH indexer_cleanup REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D16255 AFFECTED FILES src/engine/documenttimedb.h src/file/basicindexingjob.cpp src/file/modifiedfileindexer.cpp src/file/unindexedfileiterator.cpp To: bruns, #baloo, #frameworks, poboiko, ngraham Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, bruns, abrahams
