Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.nonblocking_timestamps' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the changes to support non-blocking timestamp updates.

  Since commit 66fa3cedf1 ("fs: Add async write file modification
  handling") file_update_time_flags() unconditionally returns -EAGAIN
  when any timestamp needs updating and IOCB_NOWAIT is set. This makes
  non-blocking direct writes impossible on file systems with granular
  enough timestamps, which in practice means all of them.

  This reworks the timestamp update path to propagate IOCB_NOWAIT
  through ->update_time so that file systems which can update timestamps
  without blocking are no longer penalized.

  With that groundwork in place, the core change passes IOCB_NOWAIT into
  ->update_time and returns -EAGAIN only when the file system indicates
  it would block.

  XFS implements non-blocking timestamp updates by using the new
  ->sync_lazytime and open-coding generic_update_time without the
  S_NOWAIT check, since the lazytime path through the generic helpers
  can never block in XFS"
