When refer file "directly" (e.g. ls -li <filename>), if file is same name, old inode cache is used. This causes that client shows wrong(old) inode number. So this patch is that if uniqueid is different, return error. ## But this patch is applicable to when Server is UNIX. ## When Server is Windows, we need another new patch. Reproducible sample : 1. create file 'a' at cifs client. 2. rm 'a' and touch 'b a' at server. 3. ls -li 'a' at client, then client shows wrong(old) inode number.
