AFAICT, in all cases we pass lease_get_mtime a value from a previous getattr operation. We should prefer that one to inode->i_mtime. The lease_get_mtime prototype is now rather awkward though. It might be nice to clean that up, eventually, but that can be done later. Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx>
