Hi
         i have seen error in lustre while setting permission on fs root
from a client. problem is permission are not getting propagated to
other clients.

this is because of do_lookup() call path which does not revalidate
fs root dentry in follow_mount()

attached patch adds revalidation call in follow_mount.

... and makes umount() of such thing impossible.  NAK.  That's not a solution.

i am not sure how this patch could cause problem for umount. i have tested patch with nfs and it worked fine.
can u elaborate what is problem?

thanks,
Pravin.
