Hi Kalesh,

Any reason not to use i_size_read() here?

Also not sure if it matters that much for your use case, but something
worth noting at least with shmem is that one can do something like:

# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Shmem:
Shmem:               764 kB
# xfs_io -fc "falloc -k 0 10m" ./file
# ls -alh file 
-rw-------. 1 root root 0 Jun 28 07:22 file
# stat file 
  File: file
  Size: 0               Blocks: 20480      IO Block: 4096   regular empty file
# cat /proc/meminfo | grep Shmem:
Shmem:             11004 kB

... where the resulting memory usage isn't reflected in i_size (but is
is in i_blocks/bytes).
