    [PATCH] A basic NFSv4 client for 2.5.x · 40a4b2a4
    Trond Myklebust authored
    This patch changes the interface of the ->readdir() nfs_rpc_op
    so that its first argument is a dentry instead of an inode.
    
    [Explanation: The dentry is required because in NFSv4, we need
     to make use of the _parent_ directory's inode.  This is because
     NFSv4 servers no longer return an entry for ".." in the READDIR
     response, so the client kernel needs to fake this entry, inode
     number and all.]
