Subject: [PATCH] fuse: fix race between inode/dentry invalidation and readdir
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:49:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424134935.16161-1-luis@igalia.com> (raw)

When there's a readdir in progress, doing a FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_{INODE,ENTRY}
on an inode or dentry may result in stale directory info being cached.  This
is because the invalidation does not reset the readdir cache.

This patch fixes this issue by adding a call to fuse_rdc_reset() (modified
to include the required locking) to these two operations, allowing the
readdir cache to be invalidated while it's being filled-in.
