fuse_fillattr() is called strictly after fuse_change_attributes(). The
latter usually sets local i_size with server value: i_size_write(inode,
attr->size). This makes -/+ lines above equivalent. The only exception
is stale attributes when current fi->attr_version is greater than
attr_version acquired before sending FUSE_GETATTR request. My patch
breaks old behaviour in this special case, I'll fix it, thanks for the
catch.

Yes, that's correct when "write cache" is off.

No, for "write cache" case the kernel always trusts cached i_size for
regular files. For other attributes (and for !S_ISGREG() files) the
kernel relies on userspace.

The change above has nothing to do with misbehaving userspace. The check
literally means: do not trust attr.size from server if "write cache" is
on and the file is regular and there was no explicit user request to
change size (i.e. ATTR_SIZE bit was not set in attr->ia_valid). The
check is necessary if the user changes some attribute (not related to
i_size) and at the time of processing FUSE_SETATTR server doesn't have
up-to-date info about the size of file. In "write cache" case this
situation is typical for cached writes extending file.

Are you OK about a comment like this:
/*
* In case of writeback_cache enabled, the cached writes beyond EOF
* extend local i_size without keeping userspace server in sync. So,
* attr->size coming from server can be stale. We cannot trust it.
*/
Thanks,
