commit 39fec6889d15a658c3a3ebb06fd69d3584ddffd3 upstream.
Ext4 file system has default lazy inode table initialization setup once
it is mounted. However, it has issue on computing the next schedule time
that makes the timeout same amount in jiffies but different real time in
secs if with various HZ values. Therefore, fix by measuring the current
time in a more granular unit nanoseconds and make the next schedule time
independent of the HZ value.

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.
