NFS: only invalidate dentrys that are clearly invalid.
commit cc89684c9a265828ce061037f1f79f4a68ccd3f7 upstream.
Since commit bafc9b754f75 ("vfs: More precise tests in d_invalidate")
in v3.18, a return of '0' from ->d_revalidate() will cause the dentry
to be invalidated even if it has filesystems mounted on or it or on a
descendant. The mounted filesystem is unmounted.
This means we need to be careful not to return 0 unless the directory
referred to truly is invalid. So -ESTALE or -ENOENT should invalidate
the directory. Other errors such a -EPERM or -ERESTARTSYS should be
returned from ->d_revalidate() so they are propagated to the caller.
A particular problem can be demonstrated by:
1/ mount an NFS filesystem using NFSv3 on /mnt
2/ mount any other filesystem on /mnt/foo
3/ ls /mnt/foo
4/ turn off network, or otherwise make the server unable to respond
5/ ls /mnt/foo &
6/ cat /proc/$!/stack # note that nfs_lookup_revalidate is in the call stack
7/ kill -9 $! # this results in -ERESTARTSYS being returned
8/ observe that /mnt/foo has been unmounted.
This patch changes nfs_lookup_revalidate() to only treat
-ESTALE from nfs_lookup_verify_inode() and
-ESTALE or -ENOENT from ->lookup()
as indicating an invalid inode. Other errors are returned.
Also nfs_check_inode_attributes() is changed to return -ESTALE rather
than -EIO. This is consistent with the error returned in similar
circumstances from nfs_update_inode().
As this bug allows any user to unmount a filesystem mounted on an NFS
filesystem, this fix is suitable for stable kernels.
