Can two plain vanilla (non-mapped) cases be added to the list? 
  -client A writes to the file and Client B reads from the file - client A flushed its 
   write cache before data returned to client B. 
or 
  -client A keeps a read cache and client B writes into the cached region - read
  cache should be discarded.
