Under writeback mode, inode->i_blocks is not updated, making utils du read st.blocks as 0. For example, when using virtiofs (cache=always & nondax mode) with writeback_cache enabled, writing a new file and check its disk usage with du, du reports 0 usage. # uname -r 5.6.0-rc6+ # mount -t virtiofs virtiofs /mnt/virtiofs # rm -f /mnt/virtiofs/testfile # create new file and do extend write # xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 4k" /mnt/virtiofs/testfile wrote 4096/4096 bytes at offset 0 4 KiB, 1 ops; 0.0001 sec (28.103 MiB/sec and 7194.2446 ops/sec) # du -k /mnt/virtiofs/testfile 0 <==== disk usage is 0 # stat -c %s,%b /mnt/virtiofs/testfile 4096,0 <==== i_size is correct, but st_blocks is 0 Fix it by invalidating attr in fuse_flush(), so we get up-to-date attr from server on next getattr.
