Commit 3da40c7b0898 ("ext4: only call ext4_truncate when size <= isize") introduced a bug that c/mtime is not updated on truncate up. Fix the issue by setting c/mtime explicitly in the truncate up case. Note that ftruncate(2) is not affected, so you won't see this bug using truncate(1) and xfs_io(1).
