From: Pavel Shilovsky piastryyy@gmail.com Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2019 10:06:19 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] CIFS: Force revalidate inode when dentry is stale
Currently the client indicates that a dentry is stale when inode numbers or type types between a local inode and a remote file don't match. If this is the case attributes is not being copied from remote to local, so, it is already known that the local copy has stale metadata. That's why the inode needs to be marked for revalidation in order to tell the VFS to lookup the dentry again before openning a file. This prevents unexpected stale errors to be returned to the user space when openning a file.

I also took a108471b5730b ("cifs: Check uniqueid for SMB2+ and return -ESTALE if necessary") and queued both for 4.4.
