    [PATCH] Use the intents in 'nameidata' to improve NFS close-to-open consistency · 52d1430d
    Trond Myklebust authored
      - Make use of the open intents to improve close-to-open
        cache consistency. Only force data cache revalidation when
        we're doing an open().
    
      - Add true exclusive create to NFSv3.
    
      - Optimize away the redundant ->lookup() to check for an
        existing file when we know that we're doing NFSv3 exclusive
        create.
    
      - Optimize away all ->permission() checks other than those for
        path traversal, open(), and sys_access().
