relatime is supported in the stock kernel, but without the heuristic that avoids tmpreaper deleting your files at inappropriate times. It should cause failure.
Would the "improved relatime" patch solve that problem?
Huh. I actually meant "shouldn't cause failure" there, in terms of it still being a valid mount option. The improved relatime code adds that heuristic, which avoids the tmpreaper failure. I'm trying to get it upstream, at which point I'll backport it - I'm not enthusiastic about carrying it around as a custom modification forever.
