Pavel Shilovsky c82e5ac7fe CIFS: Force revalidate inode when dentry is stale
Currently the client indicates that a dentry is stale when inode
numbers or type types between a local inode and a remote file
don't match. If this is the case attributes is not being copied
from remote to local, so, it is already known that the local copy
has stale metadata. That's why the inode needs to be marked for
revalidation in order to tell the VFS to lookup the dentry again
before openning a file. This prevents unexpected stale errors
to be returned to the user space when openning a file.

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.
