NFS: nfs_lookup doesn't need to revalidate the parent directory's inode
nfs_lookup() used to consult a lookup cache before trying an actual wire
lookup operation. The lookup cache would be invalid, of course, if the
parent directory's mtime had changed, so nfs_lookup performed an inode
revalidation on the parent.
Since nfs_lookup() doesn't use a cache anymore, the revalidation is no
longer necessary. There are cases where it will generate a lot of
unnecessary GETATTR traffic.
See http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9
Test-plan:
Use lndir and "rm -rf" and watch for excess GETATTR traffic or application
level errors.
