    [PATCH] Drop reliance on file->f_dentry in NFS reads/writes · bcfb332a
    Trond Myklebust authored
    Following a request by David Chow on linux fsdevel, this patch causes
    NFS read and write requests to take the inode from page->mapping->host
    rather than relying on file->f_dentry->d_inode. Apparently this will
    simplify some work he is doing on another filesystem.
    
    In any case, it cleans up the current mix of sometimes doing one
    thing, sometimes the other (historical cruft), and puts NFS client
    behaviour on par with what is done in other filesystems...
