Sample reproducer: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ mkdir /mnt/dir $ touch /mnt/dir/file # fsync of the directory is optional, not needed $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/file $ stat -c %Y /mnt/dir 1557856079 <power failure> $ sleep 3 $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ stat -c %Y /mnt/dir 1557856082 --> should have been 1557856079, the mtime is updated to the current time when replaying the log Fix this by not updating the mtime and ctime to the current time at btrfs_add_link() when we are replaying a log tree. This could be triggered by my recent fsync fuzz tester for fstests, for which an fstests patch exists titled "fstests: generic, fsync fuzz tester with fsstress".
