nfs_setattr will flush all pending writes before updating a file time attributes. However when the client holds delegated timestamps, it can update its timestamps locally as it is the authority for the file times attributes. The client will later set the file attributes by adding a setattr to the delegreturn compound updating the server time attributes. Fix nfs_setattr to avoid flushing pending writes when the file time attributes are delegated and the mtime/atime are set to a fixed timestamp (ATTR_[MODIFY|ACCESS]_SET. Also, when sending the setattr procedure over the wire, we need to clear the correct attribute bits from the bitmask. I was able to measure a noticable speedup when measuring untar performance. Test: $ time tar xzf ~/dir.tgz Baseline: 1m13.072s Patched: 0m49.038s Which is more than 30% latency improvement.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
