Modified files:
sys/ufs/ufs ufs_vnops.c
Log:
Null change. Forgot to mention in previous log message that MNT_NOATIME
is now ignored for special files, so that mounting root with option
noatime doesn't break reporting of idle times in programs like `w'.
The problem of execessive disk updates just to stamp atimes will be
handled for special files by only writing atimes to disk when inodes
become active. This works well because special files are relatively
uncommon and their atimes are even more disposable at panic time than
regular files' atimes.
