Subject: Re: [PATCH-v4 1/7] vfs: split update_time() into update_time() and
 write_time()

FYI, I suspect for now the best might be to let filesystems that define
->update_times work as-is and not tie them into the infrastructure.  At
least for XFS I suspect the lazy updates might better be handled
internally, although I'm not entirely sure yet.
