- * Perform sanity checks on the dentry in a client's file handle.
+/**
+ * fh_verify - filehandle lookup and access checking
+ * @rqstp: pointer to current rpc request
+ * @fhp: filehandle to be verified
+ * @type: expected type of object pointed to by filehandle
+ * @access: type of access needed to object
+ *
+ * Look up a dentry from the on-the-wire filehandle, check the client's
+ * access to the export, and set the current task's credentials.
+ *
+ * Regardless of success or failure of fh_verify(), fh_put() should be
+ * called on @fhp when the caller is finished with the filehandle.
+ *
+ * fh_verify() may be called multiple times on a given filehandle, for
+ * example, when processing an NFSv4 compound.  The first call will look
+ * up a dentry using the on-the-wire filehandle.  Subsequent calls will
+ * skip the lookup and just perform the other checks and possibly change
+ * the current task's credentials.
  *
- * Note that the file handle dentry may need to be freed even after
- * an error return.
+ * @type specifies the type of object expected using one of the S_IF*
+ * constants defined in include/linux/stat.h.  The caller may use zero
+ * to indicate that it doesn't care, or a negative integer to indicate
+ * that it expects something not of the given type.
  *
- * This is only called at the start of an nfsproc call, so fhp points to
- * a svc_fh which is all 0 except for the over-the-wire file handle.
+ * @access is formed from the NFSD_MAY_* constants defined in
+ * include/linux/nfsd/nfsd.h.
