[PATCH 4.9 29/66] orangefs: fix deadlock; do not write i_size in read_iter

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Brandenburg <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6793f1c450b1533a5e9c2493490de771d38b24f9 upstream.

After do_readv_writev, the inode cache is invalidated anyway, so i_size
will never be read.  It will be fetched from the server which will also
know about updates from other machines.

Fixes deadlock on 32-bit SMP.
