NFS: add atomic_open for NFSv3 to handle O_TRUNC correctly.
With two clients, each with NFSv3 mounts of the same directory, the sequence:
client1 client2
ls -l afile
echo hello there > afile
echo HELLO > afile
cat afile
will show
HELLO
there
because the O_TRUNC requested in the final 'echo' doesn't take effect.
This is because the "Negative dentry, just create a file" section in
lookup_open() assumes that the file *does* get created since the dentry
was negative, so it sets FMODE_CREATED, and this causes do_open() to
clear O_TRUNC and so the file doesn't get truncated.
Even mounting with -o lookupcache=none does not help as
nfs_neg_need_reval() always returns false if LOOKUP_CREATE is set.
This patch fixes the problem by providing an atomic_open inode operation
for NFSv3 (and v2). The code is largely the code from the branch in
lookup_open() when atomic_open is not provided. The significant change
is that the O_TRUNC flag is passed a new nfs_do_create() which add
'trunc' handling to nfs_create().
With this change we also optimise away an unnecessary LOOKUP before the
file is created.
