NFS: NFS_CACHEINV() should not test for nfs_caches_unstable()
The fact that we're in the process of modifying the inode does not mean
that we should not invalidate the attribute and data caches. The defensive
thing is to always invalidate when we're confronted with inode
mtime/ctime or change_attribute updates that we do not immediately
recognise.

NFS: don't cache the verifer across ->lookup() calls
If the ->lookup() call causes the directory verifier to change, then there
is still no need to use the old verifier, since our dentry has been
verified.
If nfs_post_op_update_inode fails because the server didn't return any
attributes, then we let the subsequent inode revalidation update
cache_change_attribute.
We don't care about whether or not some other process on our client is
changing the directory while we're in nfs_lookup_revalidate(), because the
dcache will take care of ensuring local atomicity.
We can therefore remove the test for nfs_caches_unstable().
NFS: Fake up 'wcc' attributes to prevent cache invalidation after write
NFSv2 and v4 don't offer weak cache consistency attributes on WRITE calls.
In NFSv3, returning wcc data is optional. In all cases, we want to prevent
the client from invalidating our cached data whenever ->write_done()
attempts to update the inode attributes.
NFS: Remove bogus check of cache_change_attribute in nfs_update_inode
Remove the bogus 'data_stable' check in nfs_update_inode. The
cache_change_attribute tells you if the directory changed on the server,
and should have nothing to do with the file length.
NFS: Fix the ESTALE "revalidation" in _nfs_revalidate_inode()
For one thing, the test NFS_ATTRTIMEO() == 0 makes no sense: we're
testing whether or not the cache timeout length is zero, which is totally
unrelated to the issue of whether or not we trust the file staleness.
Secondly, we do not want to retry the GETATTR once a file has been declared
stale by the server: we rather want to discard that inode as soon as
possible, since there are broken servers still in use out there that reuse
filehandles on new files.
NFSv3 will correctly update atime on a read() call, so there is no need to
set the NFS_INO_INVALID_ATIME flag unless the call to nfs_refresh_inode()
fails.
NFSv3 will correctly update atime on a readdir call, so there is no need to
set the NFS_INO_INVALID_ATIME flag unless the call to nfs_refresh_inode()
fails.
NFS: Don't force a dcache revalidation if nfs_wcc_update_inode succeeds
The reason is that if the weak cache consistency update was successful,
then we know that our client must be the only one that changed the
directory, and we've already updated the dcache to reflect the change.
We don't need to force a dentry lookup just because we're making changes to
the directory.
Don't update nfsi->cache_change_attribute in nfs_end_data_update: that
overrides the NFSv3/v4 weak consistency checking that tells us our update
was the only one, and that tells us the dcache is still valid.
We always want to check that the verifier and directory
cache_change_attribute match. This also allows us to remove the 'wraparound
hack' for the cache_change_attribute. If we're only checking for equality,
then we don't care about wraparound issues.
