On Linux, ftruncate(2) always changes the file timestamps, even if the file size is not changed. However, in case of a successfull truncate(2), the timestamps are updated only if the file size changes. This translates to the VFS calling the ZFS Posix Layer "setattr" function (zpl_setattr) with ATTR_MTIME and ATTR_CTIME unconditionally set on the iattr mask only when doing a ftruncate(2), while the truncate(2) is left to the filesystem implementation to be dealt with. This behaviour is consistent with POSIX:2004/SUSv3 specifications where there's no explicit requirement for file size changes to update the timestamps only for ftruncate(2): http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/truncate.html http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/ftruncate.html This has been later updated in POSIX:2008/SUSv4 where, for both truncate(2)/ftruncate(2), there's no mention of this size change requirement: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=489 http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/truncate.html http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/ftruncate.html Unfortunately the Linux VFS is still calling into the ZPL without ATTR_MTIME/ATTR_CTIME set in the truncate(2) case: we fix this by explicitly updating the timestamps when detecting the ATTR_SIZE bit, which is always set in do_truncate(), on the iattr mask.

System information
Running the https://github.com/zfsonlinux/fstest.git fstests I observed that the truncate tests fail, one of the tests updates ctime with a truncate, sleeps for a second, truncates the file again and yet ctime on the file has not been updated. I believe this fails a POSIX compliance test.
