When a file is opened with O_TRUNC, we need to make sure that any other DAX operation is not in progress. DAX expects i_size to be stable. In fuse_iomap_begin() we check for i_size at multiple places and we expect i_size to not change. Another problem is, if we setup a mapping in fuse_iomap_begin(), and file gets truncated and dax read/write happens, KVM currently hangs. It tries to fault in a page which does not exist on host (file got truncated). It probably requries fixing in KVM. So for now, take inode lock. Once KVM is fixed, we might have to have a look at it again.
