This was noticed by a user who noticied that the mtime of a file
backing a loopback device was getting bumped when the loopback device
is mounted read/only. Note: This doesn't show up when doing a
loopback mount of a file directly, via "mount -o ro /tmp/foo.img
/mnt", since the loop device is set read-only when mount automatically
creates loop device. However, this is noticeable for a LUKS loop
device like this:
% cryptsetup luksOpen /tmp/foo.img test
% mount -o ro /dev/loop0 /mnt ; umount /mnt
or, if LUKS is not in use, if the user manually creates the loop
device like this:
% losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/foo.img
% mount -o ro /dev/loop0 /mnt ; umount /mnt
The modified mtime causes rsync to do a rolling checksum scan of the
file on the local and remote side, incrementally increasing the time
to rsync the not-modified-but-touched image file.

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.
