mainlining shenanigans
5338e43abb
When replaying a log that contains a new file or directory name that needs
to be added to its parent directory, we end up updating the mtime and the
ctime of the parent directory to the current time after we have set their
values to the correct ones (set at fsync time), efectivelly losing them.
Sample reproducer:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ mkdir /mnt/dir
$ touch /mnt/dir/file
# fsync of the directory is optional, not needed
$ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir
$ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir/file
$ stat -c %Y /mnt/dir
1557856079
<power failure>
$ sleep 3
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ stat -c %Y /mnt/dir
1557856082
--> should have been 1557856079, the mtime is updated to the current
time when replaying the log
Fix this by not updating the mtime and ctime to the current time at
btrfs_add_link() when we are replaying a log tree.
This could be triggered by my recent fsync fuzz tester for fstests, for
which an fstests patch exists titled "fstests: generic, fsync fuzz tester
with fsstress".

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 Restructured Text 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.
