      [PATCH] nfs_unlink() problem fix · 32538906
      Frank Cusack authored
      When foo is unlinked, nfs_unlink() does a sillyrename, this puts the
      dentry on nfs_delete_queue, and (in the VFS) unhashes it from the
      dcache.  This causes problems, since any later access to the
      silly-renamed new .nfs file will create a NEW dentry that aliases the
      one we originally created, but unhashed.
      
      This causes various confusion, especially if we want to try to delete it
      again later.
      
      So fix this by not unhash the dentry after silly-renaming.  In 2.2, each
      fs was responsible for doing a d_delete(), in 2.4 and later it happens
      in the VFS layer and I think it was just an oversight that the 2.4 VFS
      doesn't consider sillyrename (considering the code and comments that are
      cruft).
      
      Also fixed up some comments while debugging this.
