The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/shmem: tmpfs fallocate use file_modified() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-shmem-tmpfs-fallocate-use-file_modified.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/shmem: tmpfs fallocate use file_modified() Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2022 21:55:36 -0700 (PDT) 5.18 fixed the btrfs and ext4 fallocates to use file_modified(), as xfs was already doing, to drop privileges: and fstests generic/{683,684,688} expect this. There's no need to argue over keep-size allocation (which could just update ctime): fix shmem_fallocate() to behave the same way.
