Fixed In Version:	glusterfs-3.3.0.5rhs-36
Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Cause: Internally, getattr does a lookup after a recent change. For a lookup, the server needs parent gfid and the basename of the file, but since lookup is issued from getattr operation, it does not have the parent gfid ready(is NULL). Consequence: ln fails because lookup from getattr(internally) fails with EINVAL. Fix: Populate the parent inode(which contains gfid) in inode_loc_fill so that servers can lookup based on {parent gfid, basename} Result: The problem described does not happen with the fix.
