Subject: [PATCH 11/13] fs: add a lazytime_expired method
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>
Add a lazytime_expired method to 'struct super_operations'. Filesystems
can implement this to be notified when an inode's lazytime timestamps
have expired and need to be written to disk.
This avoids any potential ambiguity with
->dirty_inode(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC), which can also mean a generic
dirtying of the inode, not just a lazytime timestamp expiration.
In particular, this will be useful for XFS.
If not implemented, then ->dirty_inode(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC) continues to
be called.
Note that there are three cases where we have to make sure to call
lazytime_expired():
- __writeback_single_inode(): inode is being written now
- vfs_fsync_range(): inode is going to be synced
- iput(): inode is going to be evicted
In the latter two cases, the inode still needs to be put on the
writeback list. So, we can't just replace the calls to
mark_inode_dirty_sync() with lazytime_expired(). Instead, add a new
flag I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRED which can be passed to __mark_inode_dirty().
It's like I_DIRTY_SYNC, except it causes the filesystem to be notified
of a lazytime expiration rather than a generic I_DIRTY_SYNC.
