Hi Theodore

It should be fixed by this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux-block.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=d14469ed7c00314fe8957b2841bda329e4eaf4ab

Hi, I was testing 6.17-rc3, and I noticed a test failure in fstest
generic/563[1], when testing both ext4 and xfs.  If you are using my
test appliance[2], this can be trivially reproduced using:

   kvm-xfstests -c ext4/4k generic/563
or
   kvm-xfstests -c xfs/4k generic/563

A git bisect pointed the problem at:

    loop: use vfs_getattr_nosec for accurate file size

    Use vfs_getattr_nosec() in lo_calculate_size() for getting the file
    size, rather than just read the cached inode size via i_size_read().
    This provides better results than cached inode data, particularly for
    network filesystems where metadata may be stale.

... and indeed if I go to 6.17-rc3, and revert this commit,
generic/563 starts passing again.

Could you please take a look, and/or revert this change?  Many thanks!
