The fact is, it's not a bug-fix, it's just papering over the real problem. And by papering it over, it then just makes people less likely to bother with the real issue. For example, and I talked about this earlier - what make syou think that the FUSE/NFSD behaviour you don't like is at all valid in the first place? If you depend on data not being truncated because you have it "in flight", tjhere's already something wrong there. It's _not_ just that people can see zero bytes in the reply - apparently they can see the file shrink before they see the read return. That kind of thing just worries me. And it might be a general NFS issue, not necessarily a FUSE one. So I think your whole approach stinks. I don't agree with the "bug-fix". It really smells like a "bug-paper-over".
