This patch series allows the NFS client to track attribute information on a more fine grained basis, so that we do not end up worrying about the validity of the mode, owner, group etc information when asked about the timestamps. Basically, this means that the NFSv4 cache consistency data is tracked separately from the other attribute data, allowing it to be revalidated by the cache consistency GETATTR operations.
