Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Ensure that we revalidate the cached file length for llseek(SEEK_END)
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12~30
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=980802e311088fda56c16650589faa4597c695fb;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] NFS: Ensure that we revalidate the cached file length for llseek(SEEK_END)

This fixes a data corruption error for mail delivery applications that
expect to be able to do posix locking and then append writes on NFS.
