From 6c441c254eea2354d686be7f5544bcd79fb6a61f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2015 16:35:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Don't invalidate a submounted dentry in nfs_prime_dcache() If we're traversing a directory which contains a submounted filesystem, or one that has a referral, the NFS server that is processing the READDIR request will often return information for the underlying (mounted-on) directory. It may, or may not, also return filehandle information. If this happens, and the lookup in nfs_prime_dcache() returns the dentry for the submounted directory, the filehandle comparison will fail, and we call d_invalidate(). Post-commit 8ed936b5671bf ("vfs: Lazily remove mounts on unlinked files and directories."), this means the entire subtree is unmounted. The following minimal patch addresses this problem by punting on the invalidation if there is a submount. Kudos to Neil Brown for having tracked down this issue (see link).
