NFS: add atomic_open for NFSv3 to handle O_TRUNC correctly.
With two clients, each with NFSv3 mounts of the same directory, the sequence: client1 client2 ls -l afile echo hello there > afile echo HELLO > afile cat afile will show HELLO there because the O_TRUNC requested in the final 'echo' doesn't take effect. This is because the "Negative dentry, just create a file" section in lookup_open() assumes that the file *does* get created since the dentry was negative, so it sets FMODE_CREATED, and this causes do_open() to clear O_TRUNC and so the file doesn't get truncated. Even mounting with -o lookupcache=none does not help as nfs_neg_need_reval() always returns false if LOOKUP_CREATE is set. This patch fixes the problem by providing an atomic_open inode operation for NFSv3 (and v2). The code is largely the code from the branch in lookup_open() when atomic_open is not provided. The significant change is that the O_TRUNC flag is passed a new nfs_do_create() which add 'trunc' handling to nfs_create(). With this change we also optimise away an unnecessary LOOKUP before the file is created. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
