From: Xiubo Li <xiubli@xxxxxxxxxx> When unlinking a file the kclient will send a unlink request to MDS by holding the dentry reference, and then the MDS will return 2 replies, which are unsafe reply and a deferred safe reply. After the unsafe reply received the kernel will return and succeed the unlink request to user space apps. Only when the safe reply received the dentry's reference will be released. Or the dentry will only be unhashed from dcache. But when the open_by_handle_at() begins to open the unlinked files it will succeed.
