From: Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Add a new attribute flag ATTR_OPEN, with the meaning: "truncation was initiated by open() due to the O_TRUNC flag".
This way filesystems wanting to implement truncation within their ->open() method can ignore such truncate requests. This is a quick & dirty hack, but it comes for free. When (if) we implement a proper low-level open+create+truncate inode operation, this can go away.
