From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In order to use the open-by-filehandle functionality with NFSv3, we need to ensure that the NFS client can convert disconnected dentries into connected ones by doing a reverse walk of the filesystem path. To do so, NFSv4 provides the LOOKUPP operation, which does not exist in NFSv3, but which can usually be emulated using lookup("..").
