Subject: [PATCH 11/11] xfs: enable non-blocking timestamp updates
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 08:50:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106075008.1610195-12-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106075008.1610195-1-hch@lst.de>
The lazytime path using the generic helpers can never block in XFS
because there is no ->dirty_inode method that could block. Allow
non-blocking timestamp updates for this case by replacing
generic_update_time with the open coded version without the S_NOWAIT
check.
Fixes: 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification handling.")
