- *      inode_update_time       -       update mtime and ctime time

- *      Update the mtime time on an inode and mark it for writeback.
- *      When ctime_too is specified update the ctime too.
+ *      Update the mtime and ctime members of an inode and mark the inode
+ *      for writeback.  Note that this function is meant exclusively for
+ *      usage in the file write path of filesystems, and filesystems may
+ *      choose to explicitly ignore update via this function with the
+ *      S_NOCTIME inode flag, e.g. for network filesystem where these
+ *      timestamps are handled by the server.
