When sync or dir_sync is enabled, there is no need to sync the parent directory's inode if only for updating its timestamp. 1. If an unexpected power failure occurs, the timestamp of the parent directory is not updated to the storage, which has no impact on the user. 2. The number of writes will be greatly reduced, which can not only improve performance, but also prolong device life.
