Why not require local access to use the same mechanism as remote, i.e. by "network mounting" the data on the local machine, too. That way there's no confusion over where the change originated nor who's copy must be invalidated.
There is always a possibility that some application will access given data directly and not via mounted partition, plus I have to patch server's kernel with out of the tree modules, so intestead I could implement lsm-based module to catch access and embed cache coherency protocol there. Inotify in this case is the simplest approach. -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
