[PATCH 02/13] gfs2: don't worry about I_DIRTY_TIME in gfs2_fsync()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-01-05 00:56:05
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-f2fs-devel, linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), gfs2 file system, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Andreas Gruenbacher, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Biggers <redacted>

The I_DIRTY_TIME flag is primary used within the VFS, and there's no
reason for ->fsync() implementations to do anything with it.  This is
because when !datasync, the VFS will expire dirty timestamps before
calling ->fsync().  (See vfs_fsync_range().)  This turns I_DIRTY_TIME
into I_DIRTY_SYNC.

Therefore, change gfs2_fsync() to not check for I_DIRTY_TIME.
