vfs: add ATTR_CTIME_SET flag

Browse source

[ Upstream commit afc5b36e29 ]

When ATTR_ATIME_SET and ATTR_MTIME_SET are set in the ia_valid mask, the
notify_change() logic takes that to mean that the request should set
those values explicitly, and not override them with "now".

With the advent of delegated timestamps, similar functionality is needed
for the ctime. Add a ATTR_CTIME_SET flag, and use that to indicate that
the ctime should be accepted as-is. Also, clean up the if statements to
eliminate the extra negatives.

In setattr_copy() and setattr_copy_mgtime() use inode_set_ctime_deleg()
when ATTR_CTIME_SET is set, instead of basing the decision on ATTR_DELEG.
