I found the SuSv3 says for ftruncate():

Upon successful completion, if fildes refers to a regular file,
ftruncate() shall mark for update the last data modification and last
file status change timestamps of the file and the S_ISUID and S_ISGID
bits of the file mode may be cleared. If the ftruncate() function is
unsuccessful, the file is unaffected.

And vmtruncate() can return error easily with RLIMIT_FSIZE or
->s_maxbytes. So, I think clearing s[ug]id first may be bad behavior
without good reason.

Hmm, you mean we should clear suid after we do notify_change()?
Good point!

I will update the patch now...

Thanks for your review!
