X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74554251dfc9374ebf1a9dfc54d6745d56bb9265;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.nonblocking_timestamps' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates. Since commit 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification handling") file_update_time_flags() unconditionally returns -EAGAIN when any timestamp needs updating and IOCB_NOWAIT is set. This makes non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular enough timestamps, which in practice means all of them. This reworks the timestamp update path to propagate IOCB_NOWAIT through ->update_time so that file systems which can update timestamps without blocking are no longer penalized. With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into ->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates it would block. XFS implements non-blocking timestamp updates by using the new ->sync_lazytime and open-coding generic_update_time without the S_NOWAIT check, since the lazytime path through the generic helpers can never block in XFS" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.nonblocking_timestamps' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: xfs: enable non-blocking timestamp updates xfs: implement ->sync_lazytime fs: refactor file_update_time_flags fs: add support for non-blocking timestamp updates fs: add a ->sync_lazytime method fs: factor out a sync_lazytime helper fs: refactor ->update_time handling fat: cleanup the flags for fat_truncate_time nfs: split nfs_update_timestamps fs: allow error returns from generic_update_time fs: remove inode_update_time --- 74554251dfc9374ebf1a9dfc54d6745d56bb9265
