From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The cached NFSv3/v4 readdir cookies are associated with a verifier, which is checked by the server on subsequent calls to readdir, and is only expected to change when the cookies (and hence also the page cache contents) are considered invalid. We therefore do have to store the verifier, but only when the page cache is empty.
