[PATCH 14/14] xfs: enable non-blocking timestamp updates

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Thu Nov 13 22:26:17 PST 2025


The lazytime path using generic_update_time can never block in XFS
because there is no ->dirty_inode method that could block.  Allow
non-blocking timestamp updates for this case.

Fixes: 66fa3cedf16a ("fs: Add async write file modification handling.")
