[PATCH v8 5/5] xfs: switch to multigrain timestamps

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Fri Sep 22 2023 - 13:15:13 EST


Enable multigrain timestamps, which should ensure that there is an
apparent change to the internal ctime value whenever a file has been
written after being actively observed via getattr.

Anytime the mtime changes, the ctime must also change, and those are the
only two options for xfs_trans_ichgtime. Have that function
unconditionally bump the ctime, and ASSERT that XFS_ICHGTIME_CHG is
always set.

In getattr, truncate the mtime and ctime at the number of nanoseconds
per jiffy, which should ensure that ordering is preserved. Use the fine
grained ctime to fake up a STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE if one was requested.
