From: Niu Yawei <yawei.niu@xxxxxxxxx> While atime on close is supposed to only increase, there's a bug in some older server versions where atime from a client is taken no matter the value that allows a stale client atime to overwrite a correct value. Update atime in close rpc to 0 to help such servers out.
