This problem is similar as "Dec/19/2014 [PATCH] cifs: make new inode cache when file type is different" but we need different patch. Problem : When "refer file directly" (e.g. ls <filename>), in spite of different file type, if file is same name, old inode cache is used. This causes that you can not cd directory, can not cat SymbolicLink. So this patch is that if file type is different, return error. Reproducible sample : 1. create file 'a' at cifs client. 2. rm 'a' and mkdir 'a' at server. 3. ls 'a' at client, then returned error (ls: cannot open directory). And you can not cd directory. SymbolicLink has same problem. Bug link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90031 # cifs_get_inode_info_unix() is for UNIX server. # cifs_get_inode_info() is for Win server.
