ceph: allow ceph.dir.rctime xattr to be updatable
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.122 commit 3e5768683022f2ac878d38c0332bf1550e3db120 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5W6OE Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=3e5768683022f2ac878d38c0332bf1550e3db120 -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit d7a2dc52 ] `rctime' has been a pain point in cephfs due to its buggy nature - inconsistent values reported and those sorts. Fixing rctime is non-trivial needing an overall redesign of the entire nested statistics infrastructure. As a workaround, PR http://github.com/ceph/ceph/pull/37938 allows this extended attribute to be manually set. This allows users to "fixup" inconsistent rctime values. While this sounds messy, its probably the wisest approach allowing users/scripts to workaround buggy rctime values. The above PR enables Ceph MDS to allow manually setting rctime extended attribute with the corresponding user-land changes. We may as well allow the same to be done via kclient for parity.
