[PATCH] fuse: fix hang on SMP
Fuse didn't always call i_size_write() with i_mutex held which caused
rare hangs on SMP/32bit. This bug has been present since fuse-2.2,
well before being merged into mainline.
The simplest solution is to protect i_size_write() with the
per-connection spinlock. Using i_mutex for this purpose would require
some restructuring of the code and I'm not even sure it's always safe
to acquire i_mutex in all places i_size needs to be set.
Since most of vmtruncate is already duplicated for other reasons,
duplicate the remaining part as well, making all i_size_write() calls
internal to fuse.
Using i_size_write() was unnecessary in fuse_init_inode(), since this
function is only called on a newly created locked inode.
Reported by a few people over the years, but special thanks to Dana
Henriksen who was persistent enough in helping me debug it.
