    ext4: fix mtime update in nodelalloc mode · 041bbb6d
    Theodore Ts'o 提交于
    Commits 5e8830dc and 41c4d25f introduced a regression into
    v3.6-rc1 for ext4 in nodealloc mode, such that mtime updates would not
    take place for files modified via mmap if the page was already in the
    page cache.  This would also affect ext3 file systems mounted using
    the ext4 file system driver.
    
    The problem was that ext4_page_mkwrite() had a shortcut which would
    avoid calling __block_page_mkwrite() under some circumstances, and the
    above two commit transferred the responsibility of calling
    file_update_time() to __block_page_mkwrite --- which woudln't get
    called in some circumstances.
    
    Since __block_page_mkwrite() only has three callers,
    block_page_mkwrite(), ext4_page_mkwrite, and nilfs_page_mkwrite(), the
    best way to solve this is to move the responsibility for calling
    file_update_time() to its caller.
    
    This problem was found via xfstests #215 with a file system mounted
    with -o nodelalloc.
