Description of problem: int glfs_loc_link (loc_t *loc, struct iatt *iatt) { int ret = -1; inode_t *linked_inode = NULL; if (!loc->inode) { errno = EINVAL; return -1; } linked_inode = inode_link (loc->inode, loc->parent, loc->name, iatt); if (linked_inode) { inode_lookup (linked_inode); inode_unref (linked_inode); ret = 0; } else { ret = -1; errno = ENOMEM; } return ret; } Here in case if the inode already exits in the cache, inode_link returns the pointer to the exiting one instead of using loc->inode. This results in the loc->inode not being updated which may result in the issues reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1235121#c10

COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/11572 committed in master by Kaleb KEITHLEY (kkeithle) ------ commit c134bdd83a781452eff8c3e4abce3da4a997daa8 Author: Soumya Koduri <skoduri> Date: Wed Jul 8 12:08:25 2015 +0530 gfapi: Update loc->inode accordingly in 'glfs_loc_link' In case if the inode already exits in the cache, inode_link returns the pointer to the exiting one instead of using loc->inode. This will result in issues if that invalid inodei(loc->inode) is referenced further. Fixed the same.
