Modern Linux filesystems absolutely do do metadata updates at that
level of granularity.
In filesystems it only counts if it makes it to disk.
10,000,000 write-to-disk metadata updates per second? I think not.
Does every write (mtime update) trigger a write to disk? I think not :)
You can write (== update inode mtime) 10,000,000 times, without ever
touching disk. Yet you fstat() still returns a nanosecond-granularity
mtime.
