[PATCH] Support for NFSv4 READ + WRITE attribute cache consistency
Retrieve the post-operation attribute changes for NFSv4 READ and WRITE operations. Unlike for NFSv2 and NFSv3, we do not retrieve the full set of file attributes. The main reason for this is that interpreting attributes is a much heavier task on NFSv4 (requiring, for instance, translation of file owner names into uids ...). Hence For a READ request, we retrieve only the 'change attribute' (for cache consistency checking) and the atime. For a WRITE request, we retrieve the 'change attribute' and the file size. In addition, we retrieve the value of the change attribute prior to the write operation, in order to be able to do weak cache consistency checking.
