--- Comment #4 from Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org> ---
Thanks for the report.

Analysis looks mostly right.

Until the issue is resolved, it can be worked around with:
sysctl debug.vn_io_pgcache_read_enable=3D0 (which you can add to sysctl.con=
f)

To the bug, while it is correct that the size is updated first and causing
trouble, another issue is that pages are only sbusied (as opposed to xbusie=
d),
thus even if file size remains unchanged, the read may get a transient state
which violates the idea of reads and writes maintaining atomicity.

truncate should also xbusy, which will sort it out.
