Subject: [PATCH 08/16] cifs: in place changes to cached_dirents when dir lease is held
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:13:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623201344.2043841-8-stfrench@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623201344.2043841-1-stfrench@microsoft.com>
From: Shyam Prasad N <sprasad@microsoft.com>
When a directory lease is held, we do not need to invalidate the
dirent cache on the cfid when new dentries are added.
This change allows local adds to directory contents to be made
in the cached_dirents so that we don't need to fetch again from server.
