ceph: revalidate ki_pos for O_APPEND writes after cap acquisition

Browse source

For O_APPEND writes, ki_pos is set to the current EOF via
generic_write_checks() after fetching i_size from the MDS.  However,
ceph_get_caps() may need to wait for Fwx exclusive caps if the write
extends the file (endoff > i_max_size).  While waiting for Fwx, the
previous Fwx holder (another client) may have already extended the
file.  When the MDS grants us Fwx, the cap grant message updates the
local i_size, but ki_pos remains at the old EOF, causing the append
write to land at a stale offset and overwrite data from the other
client.

Fix by re-reading i_size_read(inode) after ceph_get_caps() returns.
At this point we hold Fwx exclusive caps, no other client can modify
the file, and i_size reflects the true EOF from the MDS cap grant.
No extra MDS round-trip is needed.  Only adjust ki_pos when the EOF
has actually changed.

After adjusting ki_pos forward, the write range [pos, pos+count) may
now exceed the i_max_size that was validated by ceph_get_caps() for
the old range.  Re-check against i_max_size and truncate the write
if necessary to stay within the MDS-granted limit.
