    cifs: vary timeout on writes past EOF based on offset (try #5) · fbec9ab9
    Jeff Layton 提交于
    This is the fourth version of this patch:
    
    The first three generated a compiler warning asking for explicit curly
    braces.
    
    The first two didn't handle update the size correctly when writes that
    didn't start at the eof were done.
    
    The first patch also didn't update the size correctly when it explicitly
    set via truncate().
    
    This patch adds code to track the client's current understanding of the
    size of the file on the server separate from the i_size, and then to use
    this info to semi-intelligently set the timeout for writes past the EOF.
    
    This helps prevent timeouts when trying to write large, sparse files on
    windows servers.
