Hi Al, Please could you take a look at the bugzilla entry in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104911 ? It describes a NFS caching regression that appears to be caused by commit 766c4cbfacd8634d7580bac6a1b8456e63de3e84 ("namei: d_is_negative() should be checked before ->d_seq validation"). Shouldn't that test for 'if (negative) return -ENOENT;' happen after the call to d_revalidate() in lookup_fast()? If not, we can end up caching negative dentries forever, AFAICS...
