I'm checking the NFS client code to understand it, and I saw this: -- inode.c int nfs_attribute_timeout(struct inode *inode) { struct nfs_inode *nfsi = NFS_I(inode); if (nfs_have_delegation(inode, FMODE_READ)) return 0; -- So, if a inode has a delegation, will it never be timed out, until the delegation been free, right ? If the delegated inode has been deleted ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
