Commit 20f829999c38 ("gfs2: Rework read and page fault locking") lifted
the glock lock taking from the low-level ->readpage and ->readahead
address space operations to the higher-level ->read_iter file and
->fault vm operations. The glocks are still taken in LM_ST_SHARED mode
only. On filesystems mounted without the noatime option, ->read_iter
sometimes needs to update the atime as well, though. Right now, this
leads to a failed locking mode assertion in gfs2_dirty_inode.
Fix that by introducing a new update_time inode operation. There, if
the glock is held non-exclusively, upgrade it to an exclusive lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
