[PATCH 9/9] nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a
mount needs to be followed or not.  It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry,
which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in
fact need to be followed, e.g.:

  # mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone
  # echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
  # echo x > /tmp/file
  # mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar
  # cat  /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar
  cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory

Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed.

So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached
dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return ESTALE to let the
VFS retry.
