    orangefs: stop setting atime on inode dirty · a55f2d86
    Martin Brandenburg authored
    The previous code path was to mark the inode dirty, let
    orangefs_inode_dirty set a flag in our private inode, then later during
    inode release call orangefs_flush_inode which notices the flag and
    writes the atime out.
    
    The code path worked almost identically for mtime, ctime, and mode
    except that those flags are set explicitly and not as side effects of
    dirty.
    
    Now orangefs_flush_inode is removed.  Marking an inode dirty does not
    imply an atime update.  Any place where flags were set before is now
    an explicit call to orangefs_inode_setattr.  Since OrangeFS does not
    utilize inode writeback, the attribute change should be written out
    immediately.
    
    Fixes generic/120.
    
    In namei.c, there are several places where the directory mtime and ctime
    are set, but only the mtime is sent to the server.  These don't seem
    right, but I've left them as is for now.
