If I post again though, I can resurrect the gfs2 patch. If not, we can do a follow-on fix later. Since we're discussing it, it may be more correct to remove the atime update there. gfs2_adjust_quota sounds like a "modify" operation, not a "read", so I don't see a reason to update the atime. In general, the only time you only want to set the atime, ctime and mtime in lockstep is when the inode is brand new. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
