[RFC] [PATCH] do_sys_truncate: call do_truncate with ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME

Hello

do_sys_ftruncate calls do_truncate with time_attrs set to ATTR_MTIME|
ATTR_CTIME. Is there a reason for do_sys_truncate to not set time_attrs
to the same value or it is a bug?



--- Begin Message --- From: Vladimir Saveliev <vs@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When do_truncate is called from do_sys_truncate it is not given
ATTR_MTIME|ATTR_CTIME as in case when it is called from
do_sys_ftruncate. The patch fixes this unfairness.
