In v2.6.23 (but not in v2.6.22) a file's attribute cache doesn't get
flushed with close()+open() if the file is open in any process on the
same server. Test program below demonstrates it.

BTW. I thought delegations were supposed to fix most of these caching
issues automatically? I don't see any difference in caching behavior
compared to NFSv3 (Linux 2.6.23 as NFS server).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main(void)
{
	int fd =3D open("foo", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0600);
	int fd2 =3D open("foo", O_RDWR);
	struct stat st;
	char buf[1024];

	if (fstat(fd2, &st) < 0) perror("fstat()");
	printf("mtime before =3D %ld\n", st.st_mtime);

	printf("now modify the file on server\n");
	fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin);

	close(fd2);
	fd2 =3D open("foo", O_RDWR);
	if (fstat(fd2, &st) < 0) perror("fstat()");
	printf("mtime after =3D %ld\n", st.st_mtime);
	return 0;
}
