Subject: NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidation
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~266^2^2~41
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=691beb13cdc88358334ef0ba867c080a247a760f;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

NFS: Allow concurrent inode revalidation

Currently, if two processes are both trying to revalidate metadata for the
same inode, they will find themselves being serialised. There is no good
justification for this now that we have improved our ability to detect
stale attribute data, so we should remove that serialisation.
