Hi David,
If you place your xlator above upcall, upcall should inform the clients
about the changed attributes. In case it is below upcall, the internal
FOPs can not be tracked by upcall.
Upcall tracks all clients that have shown interest in a particular
inode. If that inode is modified, the callback on the brick stack will
trigger a cache-invalidation on the client. I do not think there should
be a difference between FOPs from other clients, or locally created ones
through the syncop framework.
In case this does not help or work, provide a little more details (.vol
file?).
HTH,
Niels
