+SMB_VFS_NTIMES
+--------------
+
+Samba now uses a sentinel value based on utimensat(2) UTIME_OMIT to denote
+to-be-ignored timestamp variables passed to the SMB_VFS_NTIMES() VFS function.
+
+VFS modules can check whether any of the time values inside a struct
+smb_file_time is to be ignored by calling is_omit_timespec() on the value.
