Tests: use a portable way to flush kernel cache
On Linux, kernel cache can be flushed using echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches This non-portable approach can be replaced by an on-purpose failed attempt to unmount: if the mount point is the current directory and umount is called, the kernel will flush inodes until it realize it cannot complete the operation because root of filesystem is busy: ( cd $M0 ; umount $M0 ) Unfortunately this does not flush everything. Entries may still be present in the kenrel FUSE cache. Using $GFS to mount the filesystem ensure --entry-timeout=0 and clears this problem. Some stall information may also remain in glusterfs caches, and that may have to be adressed by appropriate volume option. For instance tests/bugs/rpc/bug-954057.t needs to disable performance.stat-prefetch. Qtherwise, root's new credentials are not evaluated after root-quash is enabled. The test could also be done with performance.stat-prefetch enabled using various tricks: copying the file to read, creating a hard link on it, or just waiting long enough for metadata cache to expire.
