Hi Miklos,

Yes, just like what Vivek said in this mail thread before. But the
server may reply on the cmtime to do cache revalidation, so I think
we'd better use a single time source.

Yes, this is a problem that should be fixed. As we can not check the
inode lock state from the inode->i_rwsem structure, I think we can
pass the inode lock state along the FUSE function call-path to
fuse_change_attributes(), and only when we can certainly know whether
the inode is locked or unlocked then we continue the
writeback_cache_v2 logics. What do you think?

Thanks,
