Not always: think about `noatime' mount option (e.g. Linux) --
with it set, read will not affect inode change time.  Moreover,
there are many "filesystems" supported by unixes (dosfs/fat16 is
one of 'em) that even does not have st_{a,c}time at all...

Change number of links -- where this op affects inode modified
time?  It affects directory mtime (as link count change requires
modification of some directory like create/delete), but not
inode time IMHO.
