[PATCH 3/3] cifs: reduce false positives with inode aliasing serverino autodisable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It turns out that not all directory inodes with dentries on the
i_dentry list are unusable here. We only consider them unusable if they
are still hashed or if they have a root dentry attached.

Full disclosure -- this check is inherently racy. There's nothing that
stops someone from slapping a new dentry onto this inode just after
this check, or hashing an existing one that's already attached. So,
this is really a "best effort" thing to work around misbehaving servers.
