Subject: [PATCH] Use find_get_page_flags() to mark page accessed as it is no
 longer marked later on

Mel Gorman's commit 2457aec63745 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed 
during page cache allocation where possible") removed mark_page_accessed() 
calls from NTFS without updating the matching find_lock_page() to 
find_get_page_flags(GFP_LOCK | FGP_ACCESSED) thus causing the page to 
never be marked accessed.

This patch fixes that.

Hi Andrew,

Can you please take the below patch and forward it for inclusion to Linus?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

	Anton
