From: Anton Salikhmetov <[email protected]>
The patch contains changes for updating the ctime and mtime fields for memory mapped files:
1) adding a new flag triggering update of the inode data;
2) implementing a helper function for checking that flag and updating ctime and mtime;
3) updating time stamps for mapped files in sys_msync() and do_fsync().
