+From 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] tarfs: use inode_set_ctime accessor for kernel 6.6+
+
+Linux kernel 6.6 removed the i_ctime field from struct inode and replaced
+it with accessor functions inode_set_ctime() and inode_get_ctime(). The
+tarfs kernel module directly accessed inode->i_ctime, which fails to
+compile against kernel headers >= 6.6.
+
+Use a LINUX_VERSION_CODE guard to call inode_set_ctime() on 6.6+ while
+preserving backward compatibility with older kernels.
