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.

It stood out since I was particularly watching for timestamp-related test failures. I don't feel terribly strongly about it.

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.
