    fs: drop the timespec64 arg from generic_update_time · 541d4c79
    Jeff Layton authored
    In future patches we're going to change how the ctime is updated
    to keep track of when it has been queried. The way that the update_time
    operation works (and a lot of its callers) make this difficult, since
    they grab a timestamp early and then pass it down to eventually be
    copied into the inode.
    
    All of the existing update_time callers pass in the result of
    current_time() in some fashion. Drop the "time" parameter from
    generic_update_time, and rework it to fetch its own timestamp.
    
    This change means that an update_time could fetch a different timestamp
    than was seen in inode_needs_update_time. update_time is only ever
    called with one of two flag combinations: Either S_ATIME is set, or
    S_MTIME|S_CTIME|S_VERSION are set.
    
    With this change we now treat the flags argument as an indicator that
    some value needed to be updated when last checked, rather than an
    indication to update specific timestamps.
    
    Rework the logic for updating the timestamps and put it in a new
    inode_update_timestamps helper that other update_time routines can use.
    S_ATIME is as treated as we always have, but if any of the other three
    are set, then we attempt to update all three.
    
    Also, some callers of generic_update_time need to know what timestamps
    were actually updated. Change it to return an S_* flag mask to indicate
    that and rework the callers to expect it.
