From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> There is no need to call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates (i.e. for __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_TIME)), since by the definition of lazytime, filesystems must ignore these updates. Filesystems only need to care about the updated timestamps when they expire. Therefore, only call ->dirty_inode when I_DIRTY_INODE is set.
