staging/lustre: avoid clearing i_nlink for inodes in use
The patch removes find_cbdata callbacks and clear_nlink from dentry_iput path, since this piece of code makes a few races possible. The test case reproduces one of the possible races described in LU-7925: 1) two hard links are created for the same file 2) the test calls stat(2) for link #1 3) in the middle of 2) the test opens and closes link #2 4) in the middle of 2) the test drops the ldlm locks and forces dentry reclaim via vm.drop_caches=2 5) in the middle of 2) ll_d_iput() clears i_nlink for the inode 6) the initial stat(2) continues and copies the wrong i_nlink value into st_nlink Signed-off-by: Andrew Perepechko <andrew.perepechko@seagate.com> Seagate-bug-id: MRP-3271 Reviewed-on: http://review.whamcloud.com/19164 Intel-bug-id: https://jira.hpdd.intel.com/browse/LU-7925Reviewed-by: Wally Wang <wang@cray.com> Reviewed-by: Lai Siyao <lai.siyao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin <green@linuxhacker.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
