From 1989a80a60d2f620bad99196d6c1801c2afd7c71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tristan Ye Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2010 21:39:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Ocfs2: Stop tracking a negative dentry after dentry_iput(). I suddenly hit the problem during 2.6.37-rc1 regression test, which was introduced by commit '5e98d492406818e6a94c0ba54c61f59d40cefa4a'(Track negative entries v3), following scenario reproduces the issue easily: Node A Node B ================ ============ $touch testfile $ls testfile $rm -rf testfile $touch testfile $ls testfile ls: cannot access testfile: No such file or directory This patch stops tracking the dentry which was negativated by a inode deletion, so as to force the revaliation in next lookup, in case we'll touch the inode again in the same node. It didn't hurt the performance of multiple lookup for none-existed files anyway, while regresses a bit in the first try after a file deletion.
