cifs: reduce false positives with inode aliasing serverino autodisable
It turns out that not all directory inodes with dentries on the i_dentry list are unusable here. We only consider them unusable if they are still hashed or if they have a root dentry attached. Full disclosure -- this check is inherently racy. There's nothing that stops someone from slapping a new dentry onto this inode just after this check, or hashing an existing one that's already attached. So, this is really a "best effort" thing to work around misbehaving servers. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steve French <sfrench@us.ibm.com>
