Synopsis: msync and munmap don't bother to update mod times

State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed
State-Changed-By: davidg
State-Changed-When: Tue Mar 21 14:55:32 PST 1995
State-Changed-Why: 
   I ran the test program, and it's results indicated that the time is correct
(to within one minute, which is all that ls reports). I have since looked
carefully at the code and determined that the VOP_UPDATE call in the vnode
pager is not be sufficient to update the time. I just spoke with Kirk on the
phone about this...after a half hour of talking about how the VFS layer could
be changed to better implement our vnode paging, the conclusion about how to
solve this problem in the short term was to use VOP_SETATTR() at unmap time
(if the file had been written to) to update the modification time.
