f2fs: fix to update time in lazytime mode
generic/018 reports an inconsistent status of atime, the
testcase is as below:
- open file with O_SYNC
- write file to construct fraged space
- calc md5 of file
- record {a,c,m}time
- defrag file --- do nothing
- umount & mount
- check {a,c,m}time
The root cause is, as f2fs enables lazytime by default, atime
update will dirty vfs inode, rather than dirtying f2fs inode (by set
with FI_DIRTY_INODE), so later f2fs_write_inode() called from VFS will
fail to update inode page due to our skip:
f2fs_write_inode()
if (is_inode_flag_set(inode, FI_DIRTY_INODE))
return 0;
So eventually, after evict(), we lose last atime for ever.
To fix this issue, we need to check whether {a,c,m,cr}time is
consistent in between inode cache and inode page, and only skip
f2fs_update_inode() if f2fs inode is not dirty and time is
consistent as well.
