Fix the updating of i_size, particularly in regard to the completion of DIO
writes and especially async DIO writes by using a lock.
The bug is triggered occasionally by the generic/207 xfstest as it chucks a
bunch of AIO DIO writes at the filesystem and then checks that fstat()
returns a reasonable st_size as each completes.
The problem is that netfs is trying to do "if new_size > inode->i_size,
update inode->i_size" sort of thing but without a lock around it.
This can be seen with cifs, but shouldn't be seen with kafs because kafs
serialises modification ops on the client whereas cifs sends the requests
to the server as they're generated and lets the server order them.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
