Subject: [PATCH] NFS: allow close-to-open cache semantics to apply to root of NFS filesystem

[Download RAW message or body]
To obey NFS cache semantics, the client must verify the cached
attributes when a file is opened. In most cases this is done by a call to
d_validate as one of the last steps in path_walk.
However for the root of a filesystem, d_validate is only ever called
on the mounted-on filesystem (except when the path ends '.' or '..').
So NFS has no chance to validate the attributes.
So, in nfs_opendir, we revalidate the attributes if the opened
directory is the mountpoint. This may cause double-validation for "."
and ".." lookups, but that is better than missing regular /path/name
lookups completely.
