Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] vfs: truncate bug fixes

When a file is opened with O_TRUNC or truncated with truncate()/ftruncate(),
and then closed, iversion is not updated. This patch uses ATTR_OPEN flag,
which is currently used to identify files opened with O_TRUNC,
as an indication to increment iversion.
Also it adds passing of this flag from do_sys_truncate and do_sys_ftruncate.
To reflect real meaning, ATTR_OPEN is suggested to be renamed to ATTR_TRUNC.

Dmitry Kasatkin (2):
  vfs: iversion truncate bug fix
  vfs: ATTR_OPEN rename
