Summary:
I noticed ```openat``` system call with ```O_WRONLY``` flag and ```sync_file_range``` and ```truncate``` on WAL file when using ```rocksdb::DB::OpenForReadOnly``` by way of ```db_bench --readonly=true --benchmarks=readseq --use_existing_db=1 --num=1 ...```
Noticed in ```strace``` after seeing the last modification time of the WAL file change after each run (with ```--readonly=true```).
I think introduced by 7d7f14480e from https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8122
I added a test to catch the WAL file being truncated and the modification time on it changing.
I am not sure if a mock filesystem with mock clock could be used to avoid having to sleep 1.1s.
The test could also check the set of files is the same and that the sizes are also unchanged.
Before:
```
[ RUN ] DBBasicTest.ReadOnlyReopenMtimeUnchanged
db/db_basic_test.cc:182: Failure
Expected equality of these values:
file_mtime_after_readonly_reopen
Which is: 1621611136
file_mtime_before_readonly_reopen
Which is: 1621611135
file is: 000010.log
[ FAILED ] DBBasicTest.ReadOnlyReopenMtimeUnchanged (1108 ms)
```
After:
```
[ RUN ] DBBasicTest.ReadOnlyReopenMtimeUnchanged
[ OK ] DBBasicTest.ReadOnlyReopenMtimeUnchanged (1108 ms)
```

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage
RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team.
It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com)
and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)
This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast
key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives.
It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs
between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF)
and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions,
making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a
single database.
The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or
rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those
internal APIs may be changed without warning.
RocksDB is dual-licensed under both the GPLv2 (found in the COPYING file in the root directory) and Apache 2.0 License (found in the LICENSE.Apache file in the root directory). You may select, at your option, one of the above-listed licenses.
