All of these have GETATTR in the compound they send out. So I'm assuming to keep consistence, the label bit needs to be set on all *most* of the GEATTRs. Ones that actually nfs_refresh_inode() the inode. > Do any of those operations cause our cached labels to change? Not the label but the inode. The bit is set in ACCESS, LOOKUP, LINK, OPEN, CREAT, SETATTR which all clearly update the inode. So I guess my question is if the bit is not set in any of these ops how do we know if the label has changed? Should label changes be synchronized with inode updates? steved. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
