[PATCH 3.2 047/107] eCryptfs: Invalidate dcache entries when lower i_nlink is zero

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.72-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5556e7e6d30e8e9b5ee51b0e5edd526ee80e5e36 upstream.

Consider eCryptfs dcache entries to be stale when the corresponding
lower inode's i_nlink count is zero. This solves a problem caused by the
lower inode being directly modified, without going through the eCryptfs
mount, leaving stale eCryptfs dentries cached and the eCryptfs inode's
i_nlink count not being cleared.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Test d_revalidate pointer directly rather than a DCACHE_OP flag
 - Open-code d_inode()
 - Adjust context]
