Subject: [PATCH] cifs: don't use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber in is_path_accessible
Date: Sun,  8 Nov 2009 19:39:04 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1257727144-6468-2-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1257727144-6468-1-git-send-email-jlayton@redhat.com>

Because it's lighter weight, CIFS tries to use CIFSGetSrvInodeNumber to
verify the accessibility of the root inode and then falls back to doing a
full QPathInfo if that fails with -EOPNOTSUPP. I have at least a report
of a server that returns NT_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR rather than something
that translates to EOPNOTSUPP.

Rather than trying to be clever with that call, just have
is_path_accessible do a normal QPathInfo. That call is widely
supported and it shouldn't increase the overhead significantly.
