The setattr codepath is still using coarse-grained timestamps, even on multigrain filesystems. To fix this, fetch the timestamp for ctime updates later, at the point where the assignment occurs in setattr_copy. On a multigrain inode, ignore the ia_ctime in the attrs, and always update the ctime to the current clock value. Update the atime and mtime with the same value (if needed) unless they are being set to other specific values, a'la utimes(). Do not do this universally however, as some filesystems (e.g. most networked fs) want to do an explicit update elsewhere before updating the local inode. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
