VFS: we need to set LOOKUP_JUMPED on mountpoint crossing
Mountpoint crossing is similar to following procfs symlinks - we do not get ->d_revalidate() called for dentry we have arrived at, with unpleasant consequences for NFS4. Simple way to reproduce the problem in mainline: cat >/tmp/a.c <<'EOF' #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdio.h> main() { struct flock fl = {.l_type = F_RDLCK, .l_whence = SEEK_SET, .l_len = 1}; if (fcntl(0, F_SETLK, &fl)) perror("setlk"); } EOF cc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/test then on nfs4: mount --bind file1 file2 /tmp/test < file1 # ok /tmp/test < file2 # spews "setlk: No locks available"... What happens is the missing call of ->d_revalidate() after mountpoint crossing and that's where NFS4 would issue OPEN request to server. The fix is simple - treat mountpoint crossing the same way we deal with following procfs-style symlinks. I.e. set LOOKUP_JUMPED...
