What if I instead synchronize it before calling vfs_unlink(), then call drop_nlink() if vfs_unlink() succeeds? > Is the condition that you're trying to fix a result of going through the > this code path? > > ecryptfs_unlink() -> ecryptfs_do_unlink() -> vfs_unlink() -> nfs_unlink() -> nfs_sillyrename() -> nfs_async_unlink() Yes, that is the code path that causes it.
