fuse_do_setattr() performs extra checks that fuse_do_truncate() needn't. 
Some of them are harmless, some not: fuse_allow_task() may return 0 if 
task credentials changed. E.g. super-user successfully opened a file, 
then setuid(other_user_uid), then write(2) to the file. write(2) doesn't 
check uid, but fuse_do_truncate() - via fuse_allow_task() - does.

This non-POSIX behaviour (ftruncate(2) returning -1 with errno==EACCES) 
was introduced long time ago:

and I'm not sure whether it was done intentionally or not. Maybe Miklos 
could shed some light on it...
