> Looking at the code you sent, sshfs_utimens is ignoring the tv_nsec field, which is clearly a bug.

I agree that libfuse+sshfs code is not clean, but sshfs MUST sent atime+mtime
in one message.

There is no place to nsec and magic values.


> This is a bug in sshfs, and you should report it upstream.

libfuse does not call utimens() in case UTIME_OMIT, as far I understand.
I have no plans to report it.


> Did your friend use "-o strictatime"?

No, just -o atime.
atime is updated in his tests, mtime is not.


> Always sending mtime along with atime would be exactly the wrong thing for the kernel to do.  Only sending atime is what it's supposed to do.

Another way is to get mtime/atime some where inside sshfs, probably sending
additional requests, witch I do not like.
