that didn't start at the eof were done. The first patch also didn't update the size correctly when it explicitly set via truncate(). This patch adds code to track the client's current understanding of the size of the file on the server separate from the i_size, and then to use this info to semi-intelligently set the timeout for writes past the EOF. This helps prevent timeouts when trying to write large, sparse files on windows servers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton Signed-off-by: Steve French p®Zì’
