[PATCH 10/10] orangefs: do not check possibly stale size on truncate

From: Martin Brandenburg
Date: Fri Apr 07 2017 - 17:18:53 EST


Let the server figure this out because our size might be out of date or
not present.

The bug was that

xfs_io -f -t -c "pread -v 0 100" /mnt/foo
echo "Test" > /mnt/foo
xfs_io -f -t -c "pread -v 0 100" /mnt/foo

fail because the second truncate did not happen if nothing had requested
the size after the write in echo. Thus i_size was zero (not present)
and the orangefs_setattr though i_size was zero and there was nothing to
do.
