Hello!
Lustre 1.8 had issues with mode setting which is in bug 24226 fix
was fixed. Testing Lustre 2.X revealed the same problem. The correct
behavior is when a file size is altered the SUID/SGID go away. This occurs
at the beginning of the file size change. Currently lustre does a
attribute change after a file is closed which is incorrect. Another
problem also surfaced. It seems there is a race possible where a client
writes to a file, then client and mdt both die and the open transaction is
not committed, so the datain the file is updated, but suid is not removed.
So I made a attempt to alter the file attributes at the open time
when the intent is to alter the file size. Just like the other
md_object_operations I started to pass in the struct md_attr *ma for
the opens to operate on it. mdd_open_sanity_check does detect the the
condition I''m interested in but when I call mdd_attr_set the results
hang
the MDS. What is missing?
