This is a resend of the NFS lookup code rewrite, but with the open(".") VFS fix removed. (I'll resend the 'uses d_revalidate()' version separately after a suitable delay to allow for comments.) Issues fixed by this patch: - Use the directory mtime in order to give us a hint when we should check for namespace changes. - Add support for the 'nocto' flag, in order to turn off the strict attribute cache revalidation on file open(). - Simplify inode lookup. Don't check the 'fsid' field (which appears to be buggy in too many servers in order to be reliable). Instead we only rely on the inode number (a.k.a. 'fileid') and the (supposedly unique) filehandle.
