[PATCH] Have nfs ->d_revalidate() report errors properly If nfs atomic open implementation ends up doing open request from ->d_revalidate() codepath and gets an error from server, return that error to caller explicitly and don't bother with lookup_instantiate_filp() at all. ->d_revalidate() can return an error itself just fine...
