Hi Xiaoli, I think it is fine to skip the atime tests for CIFS. The behaviour of atime/noatime for cifs is basically noatime always. When we read from the server the server will update the atime independently of cisf.ko but then any further reads that we do from cache will never push any updates to the server.
