Track the file position above which the server is not expected to have any data and preemptively assume that we can simply fill blocks with zeroes locally rather than attempting to download them - even if we've written data back to the server. Assume that any data that was written back above that position is held in the local cache. Call this the "zero point". Make use of this to optimise away some reads from the server. We need to set the zero point in the following circumstances: (1) When we see an extant remote inode and have no cache for it, we set the zero_point to i_size. (2) On local inode creation, we set zero_point to 0. (3) On local truncation down, we reduce zero_point to the new i_size if the new i_size is lower. (4) On local truncation up, we don't change zero_point. (5) On local modification, we don't change zero_point. (6) On remote invalidation, we set zero_point to the new i_size. (7) If stored data is culled from the local cache, we must set zero_point above that if the data also got written to the server. (8) If dirty data is written back to the server, but not the local cache, we must set zero_point above that. Assuming the above, any read from the server at or above the zero_point position will return all zeroes. The zero_point value can be stored in the cache, provided the above rules are applied to it by any code that culls part of the local cache.
