Fixes several outstanding bug reports of not being able to getattr from an open file after an unlink. This patch cleans up transient fids on an unlink and will search open fids on a client if it detects a dentry that appears to have been unlinked. This search is necessary because fstat does not pass fd information through the VFS API to the filesystem, only the dentry which for 9p has an imperfect match to fids. Inherent in this patch is also a fix for the qid handling on create/open which apparently wasn't being set correctly and was necessary for the search to succeed. A possible optimization over this fix is to include accounting of open fids with the inode in the private data (in a similar fashion to the way we track transient fids with dentries). This would allow a much quicker search for a matching open fid. (changed v9fs_fid_find_global to v9fs_fid_find_inode in comment) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200923141146.90046-2-jianyong.wu@arm.com Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kurz <gkurz@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jianyong Wu <jianyong.wu@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@codewreck.org>
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.
