Since the cephFS makes no attempt to maintain atime, we shouldn't try to update it in mmap and generic read cases and ignore updating it in direct and sync read cases. And even we update it in mmap and generic read cases we will drop it and won't sync it to MDS. And we are seeing the atime will be updated and then dropped to the floor again and again.
