It's possible for the VFS to completely forget about an inode, but for it to still be sitting on the cap release queue. If the MDS sends the client a cap message for such an inode, it just ignores it today, which can lead to a stall of up to 5s until the cap release queue is flushed. If we get a cap message for an inode that can't be located, then go ahead and flush the cap release queue.

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.
