As mentioned last round please move the addition of the is_readonly operation to the first thing in the series, so that the ordering makes more sense. Second I think this patch is incorrect for XFS - XFS uses ->update_time to set the time stampst in the dinode. These two need to be coherent as we can write out a dirty inode any time, so it needs to have the timestamp uptodate. Third update_time now calls mark_inode_dirty unconditionally, while previously it wasn't called when ->update_time was set. At least for XFS that's a major change in behavior as XFS never used VFS dirty tracking for metadata updates. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
