Subject: [PATCH] mm: mark page accessed before we write_end

Hello,

In testing a backport of the write_begin/write_end AOPs, a 10% re-read
regression was noticed when running iozone.  This regression was introduced
because the old AOPs would always do a mark_page_accessed(page) after the
commit_write, but when the new AOPs where introduced, the only place this was
kept was in pagecache_write_end().  This patch does the same thing in the
generic case as what is done in pagecache_write_end(), which is just to mark
the page accessed before we do write_end().  Thank you,
