[PATCH 1/1] do_truncate needs to increment iversion

From: Dmitry Kasatkin
Date: Wed Dec 14 2011 - 11:41:28 EST


IMA/EVM uses iversion to identify if file content has been changed.
It has been found that when file is opened, truncated with ftruncate()
and then closed, iversion is not updated.

This patch adds iversion incrementation to do_truncate().
