Hi Jeff,
In order to add directory delegation support, we need to break delegations on the parent whenever there is going to be a change in the directory. Add a delegated_inode parameter to lookup_open and have it break the delegation. Then, open_last_lookups can wait for the delegation break and retry the call to lookup_open once it's done.

Does NFS has a concept of lease keys and parent lease keys? In SMB it's possible that the client passes a lease key (16 client chosen bytes) to a directory open, when asking for a directory lease. Then operations on files within that directory, take that lease key from the directory as 'parent lease keys' in addition to a unique lease key for the file. That way a client can avoid breaking its own directory leases when creating/move/delete... files in the directory. metze
