[PATCH v7 04/11] fs: handle delegated timestamps in setattr_copy_mgtime

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Fri Sep 13 2024 - 09:56:28 EST


When updating the ctime on an inode for a SETATTR with a multigrain
filesystem, we usually want to take the latest time we can get for the
ctime. The exception to this rule is when there is a nfsd write
delegation and the server is proxying timestamps from the client.

When nfsd gets a CB_GETATTR response, we want to update the timestamp
value in the inode to the values that the client is tracking. The client
doesn't send a ctime value (since that's always determined by the
exported filesystem), but it can send a mtime value. In the case where
it does, then we may need to update the ctime to a value commensurate
with that instead of the current time.

If ATTR_DELEG is set, then use ia_ctime value instead of setting the
timestamp to the current time.

With the addition of delegated timestamps we can also receive a request
to update only the atime, but we may not need to set the ctime. Trust
the ATTR_CTIME flag in the update and only update the ctime when it's
set.
