6.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 134d0b3f2440cdddd12fc3444c9c0f62331ce6fc ] There is an inherent race where a symlink file may have been overriden (by a different client) between lookup and readlink, resulting in a spurious EIO error returned to userspace. Fix this by propagating back ESTALE errors such that the vfs will retry the lookup/get_link (similar to nfs4_file_open) at least once.
