Mike Marshall 0e393a9a8f orangefs: don't mess with I_DIRTY_TIMES in orangefs_flush
Christoph Hellwig noticed that we were doing some unnecessary
work in orangefs_flush:

  orangefs_flush just writes out data on every close(2) call.  There is
  no need to change anything about the dirty state, especially as
  orangefs doesn't treat I_DIRTY_TIMES special in any way.  The code
  seems to come from partially open coding vfs_fsync.

He sent in a patch with the above commit message and also a
patch that was a reversion of another Orangefs patch I had
sent upstream a while ago. I had to fix his reversion patch
so that it would compile which caused his "don't mess with
I_DIRTY_TIMES" patch to fail to apply. So here I have just
remade his patch and applied it after the fixed reversion patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
