    [PATCH] per-mountpoint noatime/nodiratime · fc33a7bb

    Turn noatime and nodiratime into per-mount instead of per-sb flags.
    
    After all the preparations this is a rather trivial patch.  The mount code
    needs to treat the two options as per-mount instead of per-superblock, and
    touch_atime needs to be changed to check the new MNT_ flags in addition to
    the MS_ flags that are kept for filesystems that are always
    noatime/nodiratime but not user settable anymore.  Besides that core code
    only nfs needed an update because it's leaving atime updates to the server
    and thus sets the S_NOATIME flag on every inode, but needs to know whether
    it's a real noatime mount for an getattr optimization.
    
    While we're at it I've killed the IS_NOATIME/IS_NODIRATIME macros that were
    only used by touch_atime.
