ocfs2: use coarse time for new created files
The default atime related mount option is '-o realtime' which means file atime should be updated if atime <= ctime or atime <= mtime. atime should be updated in the following scenario, but it is not: ========================================================== $ rm /mnt/testfile; $ echo test > /mnt/testfile $ stat -c "%X %Y %Z" /mnt/testfile 1711881646 1711881646 1711881646 $ sleep 5 $ cat /mnt/testfile > /dev/null $ stat -c "%X %Y %Z" /mnt/testfile 1711881646 1711881646 1711881646 ========================================================== And the reason the atime in the test is not updated is that ocfs2 calls ktime_get_real_ts64() in __ocfs2_mknod_locked during file creation. Then inode_set_ctime_current() is called in inode_set_ctime_current() calls ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64() to get current time. ktime_get_real_ts64() is more accurate than ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64(). In my test box, I saw ctime set by ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64() is less than ktime_get_real_ts64() even ctime is set later. The ctime of the new inode is smaller than atime. The call trace is like: ocfs2_create ocfs2_mknod __ocfs2_mknod_locked .... ktime_get_real_ts64 <------- set atime,ctime,mtime, more accurate ocfs2_populate_inode ... ocfs2_init_acl ocfs2_acl_set_mode inode_set_ctime_current current_time ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64 <-------less accurate ocfs2_file_read_iter ocfs2_inode_lock_atime ocfs2_should_update_atime atime <= ctime ? <-------- false, ctime < atime due to accuracy So here call ktime_get_coarse_real_ts64 to set inode time coarser while creating new files. It may lower the accuracy of file times. But it's not a big deal since we already use coarse time in other places like ocfs2_update_inode_atime and inode_set_ctime_current.
