Subject: [Cluster-devel] [PATCH] GFS2: fallocate: do not rely on file_update_time to mark the inode dirty
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2015 11:10:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442916614-17003-1-git-send-email-anprice@redhat.com> (raw)

Previously __gfs2_fallocate() relied on file_update_time() marking the
inode dirty, but that's not a safe assumption as that function doesn't
dirty the inode in some cases. Mark the inode dirty explicitly.
