ext4 filesystem code calls
current_fs_time()
which is the current cached kernel time truncated to the time granularity specified in the file system's superblock which for ext4 is 1ns.The current time within the Linux kernel is cached, and generally only updated on a timer interrupt. So if your timer interrupt is running at 10 milliseconds, the cached time will only be updated once every 10 milliseconds. When an update does occur, the accuracy of the resulting time will depend on the clock source available on your hardware.
