The following Python script results in unexpected behaviour when run on
a CIFS filesystem against a Windows Server:
# Create file
fd = os.open('test', os.O_WRONLY|os.O_CREAT)
os.write(fd, b'foo')
os.close(fd)
# Open and close the file to leave a pending deferred close
fd = os.open('test', os.O_RDONLY|os.O_DIRECT)
os.close(fd)
# Try to open the file via a hard link
os.link('test', 'new')
newfd = os.open('new', os.O_RDONLY|os.O_DIRECT)
The final open returns EINVAL due to the server returning
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER. The root cause of this is that the client
caches lease keys per inode, but the spec requires them to be related to
the filename which causes problems when hard links are involved:
