cifs: Don't replace dentries for dfs mounts
Doing a readdir on a dfs root can result in the dentries for directories with a dfs share mounted being replaced by new dentries for objects returned by the readdir call. These new dentries on shares mounted with unix extenstions show up as symlinks pointing to the dfs share. # mount -t cifs -o sec=none //vm140-31/dfsroot cifs # stat cifs/testlink/testfile; ls -l cifs File: ‘cifs/testlink/testfile’ Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 16384 regular empty file Device: 27h/39d Inode: 130120 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2015-03-31 13:55:50.106018200 +0100 Modify: 2015-03-31 13:55:50.106018200 +0100 Change: 2015-03-31 13:55:50.106018200 +0100 Birth: - total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Mar 31 13:54 testdir lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar 24 14:25 testlink -> \vm140-31\test In the example above, the stat command mounts the dfs share at cifs/testlink. The subsequent ls on the dfsroot directory replaces the dentry for testlink with a symlink. In the earlier code, the d_invalidate command returned an -EBUSY error when attempting to invalidate directories. This stopped the code from replacing the directories with symlinks returned by the readdir call. Changes were recently made to the d_invalidate() command so that it no longer returns an error code. This results in the directory with the mounted dfs share being replaced by a symlink which denotes a dfs share.
