  * 2)  Do another "stat" and compare mtime again. Unfortunately the vboxsf

  * 2a) "stat" and compare mtime, on stat failure invalidate the cache
  * 2b) "stat" and compare mtime, on stat failure do nothing
  * 3)  Simply always call invalidate_inode_pages2_range on the range of the read
  *
  * Currently we are keeping things KISS and using option 1. this allows
  * directly using generic_file_read_iter without wrapping it.
  *
  * This means that only data written on the host side before open() on
