Merge tag 'lazytime_for_v5.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs

Pull lazytime updates from Jan Kara:
 "Cleanups of the lazytime handling in the writeback code making rules
  for calling ->dirty_inode() filesystem handlers saner"

* tag 'lazytime_for_v5.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs:
  ext4: simplify i_state checks in __ext4_update_other_inode_time()
  gfs2: don't worry about I_DIRTY_TIME in gfs2_fsync()
  fs: improve comments for writeback_single_inode()
  fs: drop redundant check from __writeback_single_inode()
  fs: clean up __mark_inode_dirty() a bit
  fs: pass only I_DIRTY_INODE flags to ->dirty_inode
  fs: don't call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates
  fat: only specify I_DIRTY_TIME when needed in fat_update_time()
  fs: only specify I_DIRTY_TIME when needed in generic_update_time()
  fs: correctly document the inode dirty flags
