I'm a little confused too. Why do you believe this will break
-o relatime handling? This patch changes two things:
1/ it has fat_update_time fetch its own timestamp (and ignore the "now"
parameter). This is in line with the changes in patch #3 of this series,
which explains the rationale for this in more detail.
2/ it changes fat_update_time to also update the i_version if any of
S_CTIME|S_MTIME|S_VERSION are set. relatime is all about the S_ATIME,
and it is specifically excluded from that set.
The rationale for the second change is is also in patch #3, but
basically, we can't guarantee that current_time hasn't changed since we
last checked for inode_needs_update_time, so if any of
S_CTIME/S_MTIME/S_VERSION have changed, then we need to assume that any
of them may need to be changed and attempt to update all 3.
That said, I think the logic in fat_update_time isn't quite right. I
think want something like this on top of this patch to ensure that the
S_CTIME and S_MTIME get updated, even if the flags only have S_VERSION
set.
Thoughts?
