/*
   These tests were done with various Linux 2.6 kernels, FreeBSD 6.2 and
   Solaris 8 and 10.

   Attribute cache is usually flushed with chown()ing or fchown()ing the file.
   The safest way would be to use uid=-1 gid=-1, but this doesn't work with
   Linux (it does with FreeBSD 6.2 and Solaris). So we'll first get the
   file's owner and use it. As long as we're not root the file's owner can't
   change accidentally. If would be possible to also use chmod()/fchmod(), but
   that's riskier since it could actually cause an unwanted change.

   Write cache can be flushed with fdatasync(). It's all we need, but other
   tested alternatives are: fcntl locking (Linux 2.6, Solaris),
   fchown() (Solaris) and dup()+close() (Linux 2.6, Solaris).

   Read cache flushing is more problematic. There's no universal way to do it.
   The working methods are:

   Linux 2.6: fcntl(), O_DIRECT
   Solaris: fchown(), fcntl(), dup()+close()
   FreeBSD 6.2: fchown()

   fchown() can be easily used for Solaris and FreeBSD, but Linux requires
   playing with locks. O_DIRECT requires CONFIG_NFS_DIRECTIO to be enabled, so
   we can't always use it.
