When I run the arlad to save a file, I find
the operation getattr are called several times.
I really dont understand why this happen so many
times. Hope someone can give me an explanation
about this. Thanks a lot.
The following is the debug from arlad:

Why do we have getattr call again for the same handle? Does xfs
receive the message about cancelling callback here? I dont think so.

The above program running is the same as the previous one. In the
following arlad gets the another getattr call from xfs. Then arlad
receives the call about open. So why do we have three getattr for
the same file?
best,
