    [PATCH] too many setattr calls from VFS layer · 2fbace60
    Chuck Lever authored
    New code in 2.5 VFS layer invokes notify_change to clear the suid and
    sgid bits for every write request.  notify_change needs to optimize out
    calls to ->setattr that don't do anything, because for many network file
    systems, an on-the-wire SETATTR request is generated for every ->setattr
    call, resulting in unnecessary latency for NFS writes.
