I've got a doubt and I ask to ocfs2 expert :) It seems i_size_write()
and truncate_inode_pages() and so on, they are already called in each
path of setattr for a size change, so maybe we can remove
truncate_setsize() and simply to remove the vmtuncate code, can you
give me your opinion?
Thanks.

Marco
