Subject: [PATCH v4] ocfs2: Let ocfs2_setattr use new truncate sequence.

Let ocfs2 use the new truncate sequence. The changes include:
1. Move inode_change_ok into cluster lock and remove inode_newsize_ok.
2. Use truncate_setsize directly since we don't implement our
own ->truncate and what we need is "update i_size and
truncate_pagecache" which truncate_setsize now does.
3. Change some i_size_read to inode->i_size in ocfs2_setattr
since we have i_muext held.
4. For direct write, ocfs2 actually don't allow write to pass
i_size(see ocfs2_prepare_inode_for_write), so we don't have
a chance to increase i_size. So remove the bogus check.

The patch looks fine to me. I really appreciate you working on truncate,
thanks.

This looks correct, but still has the second if ATTR_SIZE block that
I commented on last time. I'd really prefer if the filesystems could
move the truncate handling into a single conditional to simplify
auditing for it and possibly splitting it out into a separate method
later.

And btw, the S_ISREG check which you only have on the first ATTR_SIZE
check is superflous, the VFS only does ATTR_SIZE calls on regular files.

oh, that would be much work for ocfs2 to do from my perspective. So I
would really want to leave it as-is and I have add it to my to-do list.

yeah, I can remove it.

Oh right, you start a new transaction there. Sorry, ignore my request
and keep it as it is for now. I don't think doing truncatate in separate
transactions actually is correct, though but that's no change with this
patch.

Christoph,
You're missing the part where actual truncate (reduce i_size)
sets i_size in ocfs2_truncate_file(). So this later code doesn't get
triggered for the truncate case. It exists for the extend case, where
we extend the allocation in multiple clean transactions, then finally
set i_size in a final transaction.

Actually, ocfs2_extend_file() appears to handle it too. I don't
think it used to - there were places that had issues with
commit_write()'s update of i_size, etc. But that's ancient history. I
wonder if Mark knows.
