In XFS, we always update the inode change and modification time when any
preallocation operation succeeds.  Furthermore, as various fallocate
modes can change the file contents (extending EOF, punching holes,
zeroing things, shifting extents), we should drop file privileges like
suid just like we do for a regular write().  There's already a VFS
helper that figures all this out for us, so use that.

The net effect of this is that we no longer drop suid/sgid if the caller
is root, but we also now drop file capabilities.

That's a change of behaviour in that if O_DSYNC is not used, we
won't call xfs_update_prealloc_flags() and so won't always log the
inode here, regardless of whether the timestamps are changed or not.

Regardless, the only other caller of xfs_update_prealloc_flags() is
xfs_fs_map_blocks(), and that clearly modifies the layout of the
file so it has the same issue w.r.t. stripping privileges via
xfs_update_prealloc_flags(). So it should really also
and not the open coded stripping done in
xfs_update_prealloc_flags().

As such, I think that the use of XFS_PREALLOC_INVISIBLE here is not
a very nice workaround to avoid repeating the work done by
file_modified(). All the code that does direct extent modification
should perform the same actions for the same reasons. And if you
xfs_fs_map_blocks() to use xfs_log_force_inode() like patch 3 in
this series does for fallocate(), then XFS_PREALLOC_SYNC and that
code in xfs_update_prealloc_flags() can go away as well....

Cheers,

Dave.
