    wcfs: tests: Start verifying state of OS file cache · fbf15309
    Kirill Smelkov authored
    For WCFS to be efficient it will have to carefully preserve OS cache on
    file invalidations. As preparatory step establish infrastructure for
    verifying state of OS file cache and start asserting on OS cache state
    in a couple of places.
    
    See comments added to tFile constructor that describe how OS cache state
    verification is setup.
