From 2ef47eb1aee171ecf1d83311b9f7fae80f330181 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anna Schumaker Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 16:19:16 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] NFS: Fix use of nfs_attr_use_mounted_on_fileid() This function call was being optimized out during nfs_fhget(), leading to situations where we have a valid fileid but still want to use the mounted_on_fileid. For example, imagine we have our server configured like this: server % df Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/vda1 9.1G 6.5G 1.9G 78% / /dev/vdb1 487M 2.3M 456M 1% /exports /dev/vdc1 487M 2.3M 456M 1% /exports/vol1 /dev/vdd1 487M 2.3M 456M 1% /exports/vol2 If our client mounts /exports and tries to do a "chown -R" across the entire mountpoint, we will get a nasty message warning us about a circular directory structure. Running chown with strace tells me that each directory has the same device and inode number: newfstatat(AT_FDCWD, "/nfs/", {st_dev=makedev(0, 38), st_ino=2, ...}) = 0 newfstatat(4, "vol1", {st_dev=makedev(0, 38), st_ino=2, ...}) = 0 newfstatat(4, "vol2", {st_dev=makedev(0, 38), st_ino=2, ...}) = 0 With this patch the mounted_on_fileid values are used for st_ino, so the directory loop warning isn't reported.
