Re: [Linux-nvdimm] [PATCH 2/3] dax: use pfn_mkwrite to update c/mtime + freeze protection

From: Yigal Korman <yigal(a)plexistor.com&gt; [v1] Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is first read from and then written to. A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080) [v2] Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we are then fixing another bug where: A user could start writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.
