From 4e99a1ff3410c627a428d5ddb6cd2e7bc908a486 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2008 12:34:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix dentry revalidation for NFSv4 referrals and mountpoint crossings As long as the directory contents haven't changed, we should just let the path walk proceed to cross the mountpoint. Apart from being an optimisation in the case of 'nohide' mountpoint traversals, it also fixes an issue with referrals: referral inodes don't have valid filehandles, so calling nfs_revalidate_inode() on them is a bug.
