[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 13/26] vfs: create generic_remap_file_range_touch to update inode metadata

From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong at oracle.com>

Create a new VFS helper to handle inode metadata updates when remapping
into a file.  If the operation can possibly alter the file contents, we
must update the ctime and mtime and remove security privileges, just
like we do for regular file writes.  Wire up ocfs2 to ensure consistent
behavior.
