Including all these checks inline here seems error prone. Can you not just
use finish_open ?? It might do more than you need, but it would be more
obvious that you didn't forget anything..

I suspect this is not the test you want. It tests for IFREG or IFLNK or
IFSOCK.

I think you need a comment here explaining the rational for these setting.
Why is O_NOATIME important IFREG but not for IFDIR?
Why is it not sufficient to honour O_NOATIME that is passed in.
How can you ever justify setting FMODE_NOCMTIME ?
I guess you are just copying from xfs code, but it still needs justification.
