This seems like what the issue is.
The SMB server is uptime mtime after the server actually flushes to
stable storage.

Both Samba and Windows SMB servers accept the SETINFO where the
nanosecond timestamps are being set.
By all accounts the servers are telling the client that the attributes
the client is trying to set are accepted.
This seems more like an issue with implementing the protocol or with
the protocol itself.

Copying the same file to a SMBv1.0 file share from a Windows SMB
server, which doesn't have posix extensions, yields the same results
as copying to a Samba server.

I am copying a packet capture from a Fedora rawhide system to a
Windows 2016 system using SMBv2.1 and SMBv1.0. I used 2.1, but the
same behavior can be observed with SMB3.x
I have used different versions of Samba, but is there a preferred
version that anyone would like used for testing?
