Subject: Re: [PATCH -v8 4/4] The design document for memory-mapped file times update

> Ah, OK, this is becuase mmap doesn't actually set up the page tables

Here's an updated version of the program, with an added a '-r' option,
that performs a read access on the mapping before doing the write
(basically equivalent to MAP_POPULATE, but portable).

Please try this on a tmpfs file.

Thanks,
Miklos
