[PATCH v2] 9p: v9fs_fid_find: also lookup by inode if not found dentry

From: Dominique Martinet
Date: Thu May 23 2024 - 17:00:45 EST


It's possible for v9fs_fid_find "find by dentry" branch to not turn up
anything despite having an entry set (because e.g. uid doesn't match),
in which case the calling code will generally make an extra lookup
to the server.

In this case we might have had better luck looking by inode, so fall
back to look up by inode if we have one and the lookup by dentry failed.

Sorry, shouldn't send patches without testing even if I'm not planning
to apply them for a while...
