Might have something to do with this set of changes:

https://lore.kernel.org/io-uring/c737af00-e879-fe01-380c-ba95b555f423@kernel.dk/

as it adds new places in the VFS that check for IOCB_NOWAIT.  Pretty
sure it triggers -EAGAIN on timestamp updates now (in
file_modified() calls), which is probably what is happening here....

Cheers,

Dave.
