Cc: linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org, Jeff Layton Message-ID: <150364648184.31291.7718153434142507012.stgit@noble> In-Reply-To: <150364635600.31291.11905399689488751395.stgit@noble> References: <150364635600.31291.11905399689488751395.stgit@noble> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: For correct close-to-open semantics, NFS must validate the change attribute of a directory (or file) on open. Since commit ecf3d1f1aa74 ("vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op"), open() of "." or a path ending ".." is not revalidated reliably (except when that direct is a mount point). Prior to that commit, "." was revalidated using nfs_lookup_revalidate() which checks the LOOKUP_OPEN flag and forces revalidation if the flag is set. Since that commit, nfs_weak_revalidate() is used for NFSv3 (which ignores the flags) and nothing is used for NFSv4. This is fixed by using nfs_lookup_verify_inode() in nfs_weak_revalidate(). This does the revalidation exactly when needed. Also, add a definition of .d_weak_revalidate for NFSv4. The incorrect behavior is easily demonstrated by running "echo *" in some non-mountpoint NFS directory while watching network traffic. Without this patch, "echo *" sometimes doesn't produce any traffic. With the patch it always does.
