Description Soumya Koduri 2016-09-29 14:36:25 UTC
Description of problem:

As mentioned in the https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1358096#c55 ,

>>>>

In case of any lookup sent on a file, if the file already exists but with a different gfid, clients should revalidate/re-issue the lookup to correct the gfid.

nfs_lookup() fop starts with setting lookuptype to GF_NFS3_REVALIDATE. But as per the code changes done in the patch mentioned in the comment#52, before doing STACK_WIND on the child xlator lookup, in case if we find cached inode for that file/entry name in the inode table but with inode_ctx not set, we reset lookuptype to GF_NFS3_FRESH. This may have led to nfs xlator not sending fresh lookup on receiving ESTALE.
<<<

This bug is to track the fix for the above mentioned issue.

Please note upstream 3.9 & 3.8 patches are yet to be merged as for both of them the merge windows are not yet open.

Comment 10 surabhi 2017-02-07 06:40:59 UTC
Tried following test as per discussion with Soumya:

Mount with nfs on two clients

c1 : create dir/f1
Restart gnfs on server
ls dir

From c2:
rm dir/f1
touch dir/f1

From c1
ls dir/f1

There are no issues seen while listing the file which is recreated with the same name after removal from another client.

Marking the BZ verified.
