From: Arnaud Giersch <arnaud.giersch@xxxxxxx> In do_coredump(), call vfs_getattr() to get inode attributes, and do not get them directly from the fields of the inode struct. Without this patch, when dumping core on an NFSv4 mount, and the i_uid field is not correctly filled at open time, the uid check fails, and an empty core dump is produced. This apparently only happens when there was no "core" file before the dump. If a "core" file owned by the current user is already present, it is correctly filled. The reason is that decode_attr_owner() in fs/nfs/nfs4xdr.c is not allowed to call the idmapper when it receives may_sleep = 0 (see commit 80e52aced138bb41b045a8595a87510f27d8d8c5, and some explanations in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.nfs/33391).
