Actually, there's a related one: suppose we have two mounts from the same server, with the same flags, etc., ending up sharing a dentry on client. What will we get from GETATTR asking for fs_locations, in fs_root field? Can an nfs4 server e.g. have /x/y being a symlink that resolves to /a/b and allow mounting of both /x/y/c and /a/b/c? Which path would it return to client that has mounted both, walked to some referral point and called nfs_do_refmount(), triggering nfs4_proc_fs_locations()?
