orangefs: set i_size on new symlink
As long as a symlink inode remains in-core, the destination (and therefore size) will not be re-fetched from the server, as it cannot change. The original implementation of the attribute cache assumed that setting the expiry time in the past was sufficient to cause a re-fetch of all attributes on the next getattr. That does not work in this case. The bug manifested itself as follows. When the command sequence touch foo; ln -s foo bar; ls -l bar is run, the output was lrwxrwxrwx. 1 fedora fedora 4906 Apr 24 19:10 bar -> foo However, after a re-mount, ls -l bar produces lrwxrwxrwx. 1 fedora fedora 3 Apr 24 19:10 bar -> foo After this commit, even before a re-mount, the output is lrwxrwxrwx. 1 fedora fedora 3 Apr 24 19:10 bar -> foo Reported-by: Becky Ligon <ligon@clemson.edu> Signed-off-by: Martin Brandenburg <martin@omnibond.com> Fixes: 71680c18 ("orangefs: Cache getattr results.")
