Clean up two aspects of importing filesystems:
First: instead of trying to avoid crossing mountpoints (by checking
.st_dev
) in order to use.st_ino
values as a "unique key" for tracking hardlinks, just take the(.st_dev, .st_ino)
pair. This resolves some issues with overlayfs where adjacent files can end up with different.st_dev
.Second: we were abusing the first setting of
st_dev
as a flag field to determine if we werestat()
-ing the root inode or not, which was always a bit evil. We did this to avoid collecting the mtime of the root directory for determining the newest file in the filesystem. Let's change our approach here: we can collect the mtime when adding items to their parent directories (which is never done for the root directory). Use a impl onInode
to make it easier to collect that information.These changes together turn .stat() into a pure operation (with respect to the state of the reader), so remove the
&mut self
reference.Fixes #41
