It's not uncommon for some workloads to do a bunch of I/O to a file and delete it just afterward. If knfsd has a cached open file however, then the file may still be open when the dentry is unlinked. If the underlying filesystem is nfs, then that could trigger it to do a sillyrename. On a REMOVE or RENAME scan the nfsd_file cache for open files that correspond to the inode, and proactively unhash and put their references. This should prevent any delete-on-last-close activity from occurring, solely due to knfsd's open file cache. This must be done synchronously though so we use the variants that call flush_delayed_fput. There are deadlock possibilities if you call flush_delayed_fput while holding locks, however. In the case of nfsd_rename, we don't even do the lookups of the dentries to be renamed until we've locked for rename. Once we've figured out what the target dentry is for a rename, check to see whether there are cached open files associated with it. If there are, then unwind all of the locking, close them all, and then reattempt the rename.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
