In certain instances, users or applications switch to other privileged
users by executing commands like 'su' to carry out operations on NFS-
mounted folders. However, when this happens, the login time for the
privileged user is reset, and any NFS ACCESS operations must be resent,
which can result in a decrease in performance. In specific production
environments where the access cache can be trusted due to stable group
membership, there's no need to verify the cache stall situation.
To maintain the initial behavior and performance, a new mount option
called 'fasc' has been introduced. This option triggers the mechanism
of clearing the file access cache upon login.
