[PATCH 1/2] nfs: fix utimensat() for atime with delegated timestamps

[Jeff Layton]

xfstest generic/221 is failing with delegated timestamps enabled.  When
the client holds a WRITE_ATTRS_DELEG delegation, and a userland process
does a utimensat() for only the atime, the ctime is not properly
updated. The problem is that the client tries to cache the atime update,
but there is no mtime update, so the delegated attribute update never
updates the ctime.

Delegated timestamps don't have a mechanism to update the ctime in
accordance with atime-only changes due to utimensat() and the like.
Change the client to issue an RPC in this case, so that the ctime gets
properly updated alongside the atime.
