the problem "when a file is truncated on the server after being written on
a client under NFSv3, the client doesn't see the size drop to zero".
(As you noted, the problem is that NMODIFIED wasn't being cleared by nfs_close
when it flushed the buffers. After checking through the code, the only place
where NMODIFIED was used to test for the possibility of dirty blocks was in
nfs_setattr(). The two cases are safe to do when there aren't dirty blocks,
so I just took out the tests. Unfortunately, testing for
v_dirtyblkhd.lh_first being non-null is not sufficient, since there are
times when the code moves blocks to the clean list and then back to the
dirty list.)
