    GFS2: Remove localcaching mount option · c2048b00
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    This option defaulted to on for lock_nolock mounts and off
    otherwise. The only function was to avoid the revalidation of
    dentries. In the cluster case, that is entirely pointless and
    liable to cause coherency problems.
    
    The patch changes the revalidation to depend upon whether the
    fs is a local or cluster fs (i.e. it follows the existing default
    behaviour). I very much doubt anybody ever used this option as
    there is no reason to. Even so we will continue to accept it
    on the mount command line, but ignore it.
