From: Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This patch makes writing to shared memory mappings update st_ctime and st_mtime as defined by SUSv3:
The st_ctime and st_mtime fields of a file that is mapped with MAP_SHARED and PROT_WRITE shall be marked for update at some point in the interval between a write reference to the mapped region and the next call to msync() with MS_ASYNC or MS_SYNC for that portion of the file by any process. If there is no such call and if the underlying file is modified as a result of a write reference, then these fields shall be marked for update at some time after the write reference. A new address_space flag is introduced: AS_CMTIME. This is set each time a page is dirtied through a userspace memory mapping. This includes write accesses via get_user_pages(). Note, the flag is set unconditionally, even if the page is already dirty. This is important, because the page might have been dirtied earlier by a non-mmap write. This flag is checked in msync() and __fput(), and if set, the file times are updated and the flag is cleared The flag is also cleared, if the time update is triggered by a normal write. This is not mandated by the standard, but seems to be a sane thing to do. Fixes Novell Bugzilla #206431. Inspired by Peter Staubach's patch and the resulting comments.
