Use the following command to test nfsv4(size of file1M is 1MB): mount -t nfs -o vers=4.0,actimeo=60 127.0.0.1/dir1 /mnt cp file1M /mnt du -h /mnt/file1M -->0 within 60s, then 1M When write is done(cp file1M /mnt), will call this: nfs_writeback_done nfs4_write_done nfs4_write_done_cb nfs_writeback_update_inode nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc_locked(change, ctime, mtime nfs_post_op_update_inode_force_wcc_locked nfs_set_cache_invalid nfs_refresh_inode_locked nfs_update_inode nfsd write response contains change, ctime, mtime, the flag will be clear after nfs_update_inode. Howerver, write response does not contain space_used, previous open response contains space_used whose value is 0, so inode->i_blocks is still 0. nfs_getattr -->called by "du -h" do_update |= force_sync || nfs_attribute_cache_expired -->false in 60s cache_validity = READ_ONCE(NFS_I(inode)->cache_validity) do_update |= cache_validity & (NFS_INO_INVALID_ATTR -->false if (do_update) { __nfs_revalidate_inode } Within 60s, does not send getattr request to nfsd, thus "du -h /mnt/file1M" is 0.
