From fbf3fdd2443965d9ba6fb4b5fecd1f6e0847218f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Menyhart Zoltan Date: Sun, 12 Sep 2010 19:55:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] statfs() gives ESTALE error Hi, An NFS client executes a statfs("file", &buff) call. "file" exists / existed, the client has read / written it, but it has already closed it. user_path(pathname, &path) looks up "file" successfully in the directory-cache and restarts the aging timer of the directory-entry. Even if "file" has already been removed from the server, because the lookupcache=positive option I use, keeps the entries valid for a while. nfs_statfs() returns ESTALE if "file" has already been removed from the server. If the user application repeats the statfs("file", &buff) call, we are stuck: "file" remains young forever in the directory-cache.
