Yang Shi b9306a796c mm: filemap: clear idle flag for writes
Since commit bbddabe2e4 ("mm: filemap: only do access activations on
reads"), mark_page_accessed() is called for reads only.  But the idle flag
is cleared by mark_page_accessed() so the idle flag won't get cleared if
the page is write accessed only.

Basically idle page tracking is used to estimate workingset size of
workload, noticeable size of workingset might be missed if the idle flag
is not maintained correctly.

It seems good enough to just clear idle flag for write operations.

Fixes: bbddabe2e4 ("mm: filemap: only do access activations on reads")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
