Revalidation is only done when you force it or explicitly ask for a basic stat
or the data version number:

-       if (need_atime)
-               err = __nfs_revalidate_inode(NFS_SERVER(inode), inode);
-       else
-               err = nfs_revalidate_inode(NFS_SERVER(inode), inode);
-       if (!err) {
-               generic_fillattr(inode, stat);
-               stat->ino = nfs_compat_user_ino64(NFS_FILEID(inode));
+       if (force || stat->request_mask & (XSTAT_BASIC_STATS | XSTAT_VERSION)) {
+               if (force || need_atime)
+                       err = __nfs_revalidate_inode(NFS_SERVER(inode), inode);
+               else
+                       err = nfs_revalidate_inode(NFS_SERVER(inode), inode);
+               if (err)
+                       goto out;

Unfortunately, I think I have to revalidate if any of XSTAT_BASIC_STATS are
requested to maintain compatibility with stat() so that stat() can be done
with xstat().  On the other hand, stat() could be done by userspace with
xstat() and AT_FORCE_ATTR_SYNC, I suppose.
