A tangent.
I also thought O_NOATIME shouldn't be an effective fcntl(2) thing,
for the reasons you stated above, when I was studying the area
because of the discussion on these patches. I was surprised to see
that http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/fcntl.2.html contradicts
by saying F_SETFL can take O_NOATIME.
Perhaps it deserves a bugreport?
