Ah. Sorry... Neil's argumentation made me think it might be the root
inode that was stale. Indeed from the code that is currently a
pathology.
Hmm: it looks like the dentry revalidation code is in any case not
complete. Basically it doesn't check if the NFS_INO_STALE flag is set
when deciding whether or not a cached dentry is valid.
OK. We need the patch I sent last night plus a 1-liner in
nfs_inode_is_stale(). That should cover both pathologies. It'll
probably clean up the other cases in which people have been reporting
-ESTALE errors.
Cheers,
Trond
