From 342a67f0884293639bd17ea44df754ead799e669 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2021 22:08:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Label the dentry with a verifier in nfs_link(), nfs_symlink() After the success of an operation such as link(), or symlink(), we expect to add the dentry back to the dcache as an ordinary positive dentry. However in NFS, unless it is labelled with the appropriate verifier for the parent directory state, then nfs_lookup_revalidate will end up discarding that dentry and forcing a new lookup. The fix is to ensure that we relabel the dentry appropriately on success.
