Hey Linus,
/* Summary */
This contains a few fixes for the multi-grain timestamps work for this cycle:
* Only update the atime if "now" is later than the current value. This
can happen when the atime gets updated with a fine-grained timestamp
and then later gets updated using a coarse-grained timestamp.
* Make sure setattr_copy() handles multi-grained timestamps.
* Always initialize the __i_ctime field during allocation otherwise
inode_set_ctime_current() may skip initializing __i_ctime because the
random value in there might be in the future.
* Fix overlayfs to always set ctime when it sets atime and mtime.
/* Testing */
clang: Ubuntu clang version 15.0.7
gcc: (Ubuntu 12.2.0-3ubuntu1) 12.2.0
All patches are based on v6.6-rc1 and have been sitting in linux-next.
No build failures or warnings were observed. All old and new tests in
selftests, and LTP pass without regressions.
/* Conflicts */
At the time of creating this PR no merge conflicts were reported from
linux-next and no merge conflicts showed up doing a test-merge with
current mainline.
