Hi,

I do like that approach.

To be clear: I'm suggesting the additional crosscheck not because I'm
not concerned with concurrent modifications, but because I've seen
filesystem per-inode metadata and the actual data / extent-tree
differ. Leading to EOF reported while reading at a different place than
what the size via stat() would indicate.

Greetings,
