From 4eec952e42314b53e48fef1f54dd89cbf9789734 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:58:13 -0400 Subject: NFS: Add options for finer control of the lookup cache Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONEG to turn off the caching of negative dentries. In reality what we do is to force nfs_lookup_revalidate() to always discard negative dentries. Add the flag NFS_MOUNT_LOOKUP_CACHE_NONE for enforcing stricter revalidation of dentries. It forces the revalidate code to always do a lookup instead of just checking the cached mtime of the parent directory.
