[PATCH] 2.4.19-rc1 Fix NFS attribute caching bug

From: Trond Myklebust (trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no)
Date: Tue Jun 25 2002 - 14:15:54 EST


  Fixes an obvious bug in __nfs_refresh_inode(): after updating the
attribute cache, if we discover that the data cache is invalid don't
call nfs_zap_caches() as that will also reinvalidate the attribute
cache.
  This bug plays havoc with the new lookup/revalidation code in 2.4.19
since it forces a lot of unnecessary extra GETATTR RPC calls.

Cheers,
   Trond
