Most filesystems that use the pagecache will update the mtime, ctime,
and change attribute when a page becomes writeable. Add a page_mkwrite
operation for tmpfs and just use it to bump the mtime, ctime and change
attribute.

This fixes xfstest generic/080 on tmpfs.

Huh.  I didn't notice when this one crept into the multigrain series.

I'm inclined to NAK this patch: at the very least, it does not belong
in the series, but should be discussed separately.

Yes, tmpfs does not and never has used page_mkwrite, and gains some
performance advantage from that.  Nobody has ever asked for this
change before, or not that I recall.

Please drop it from the series: and if you feel strongly, or know
strong reasons why tmpfs suddenly needs to use page_mkwrite now,
please argue them separately.  To pass generic/080 is not enough.

Thanks,
Hugh

Dropped.

This was just something I noticed while testing this series. It stood
out since I was particularly watching for timestamp-related test
failures. I don't feel terribly strongly about it.

Thanks!
