[PATCH 5.10 247/290] NFS: Dont gratuitously clear the inode cache when lookup failed

From: gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
Date: 2021-03-15 14:43:58
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nfs, sunrpc, and lockd clients, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Trond Myklebust, Anna Schumaker, Linus Torvalds

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Trond Myklebust <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 47397915ede0192235474b145ebcd81b37b03624 ]

The fact that the lookup revalidation failed, does not mean that the
inode contents have changed.

Fixes: 5ceb9d7fdaaf ("NFS: Refactor nfs_lookup_revalidate()")
