So, this is the new case when ->dirty_inode() is called via
generic_update_time()?
Did you research whether you can detect that case also by looking at
the flags parameter?
I'd give I_DIRTY_TIME a try. This way you could get at least rid of
the mutex_is_locked()
usage.

Okey, after a reading, I'm afraid I can not think a better idea
out. The flags between *old* cases and the *new* case can possiblly
be same. Then we can't use the flags to filter the new case from old
cases.

Oops, sorry, my bad!!

generic_upadte_time() is the only way to use I_DIRTY_TIME here currently.

But there is another problem, if we are going to try to support
lazytime, we have to set the I_DIRTY_TIME in the *old* cases. Then
we can not use the flags to distinguish them in drity_inode().

You are right!. we can get rid of mutex_is_locked() at least.

Thanx
Yang

But I think I can append a patch to add a support for lazytime here:
     if (flags == I_DIRTY_TIME)
         return;

Thanx
Yang
