    vfs: update ovl inode before relatime check · 598e3c8f
    Miklos Szeredi authored
    On overlayfs relatime_need_update() needs inode times to be correct on
    overlay inode.  But i_mtime and i_ctime are updated by filesystem code on
    underlying inode only, so they will be out-of-date on the overlay inode.
    
    This patch copies the times from the underlying inode if needed.  This
    can't be done if called from RCU lookup (link following) but link m/ctime
    are not updated by fs, so this is all right.
    
    This patch doesn't change functionality for anything but overlayfs.
