Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.ctime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
  xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
  filesystems.

  The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
  and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
  to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
  jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.

  Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
  NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
  can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
  client decide to invalidate the cache.

  Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
  a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
  granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
  (e.g., backup applications).

  If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
  the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
  filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.

  This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
  actively queried.

  This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
  something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
  is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
  fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.

  As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
  must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
  only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.

  Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
  the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
  coarse-grained timestamps.

  Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:

   - Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
     together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
     maintainers provided necessary Acks.

   - Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
     callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
     gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
     as requiring accessors.

   - Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
     sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
     mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.

   - Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
     parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.

   - Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
     removing a bunch of open-coding"
