Subject: [PATCH] libuuid: avoid truncate clocks.txt to improve performance
Instead of explicitly truncating clocks.txt file, pad with
whitespaces in the end of file.
This is done to improve performance of libuuid on xfs
filesystems. Instead of truncating the file, pad it with whitespaces.
This is anyways used as a failsafe method in case truncate fails.
The reason why this regression was introduced was because of:
869ae85dae64 ("xfs: flush new eof page on truncate to avoid post-eof corruption")
An attempt to move the clocks.txt to /run (tmpfs) has been attempted before
[1] and with commit ab2e7dd17 ("libuuid: move clock state file from
/var/lib to /var/run"). The latter was reverted.
