The first fixes two closely related bugs caused by the introduction of d_weak_revalidate. The second provides a minor code cleanup. It seems we really do need d_weak_revalidate, but we might need better documentation describing its purpose. Thanks, NeilBrown --- NeilBrown (2): NFS: revalidate "." etc correctly on "open".
