4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Trond Myklebust <[email protected]> commit 7dc72d5f7a0ec97a53e126c46e2cbd2560757955 upstream. Due to inode number reuse in filesystems, we can end up corrupting the inode on our client if we apply the file attributes without ensuring that the filehandle matches. Typical symptoms include spurious "mode changed" reports in the syslog. We still do want to ensure that we don't invalidate the dentry if the inode number matches, but we don't have a filehandle. Fixes: fa9233699cc1 ("NFS: Don't require a filehandle to refresh...")
