Subject: CIFS use sensible file nlink values if unprovided
X-Git-Url: http://git.mmlx.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cfe24e4e36ec19a56bac17691f8721ac44050a6f;p=linux-edison.git

CIFS use sensible file nlink values if unprovided

commit 6658b9f70ebca5fc0795b1d6d733996af1e2caa7 upstream.

Certain servers may not set the NumberOfLinks field in query file/path
info responses. In such a case, cifs_inode_needs_reval() assumes that
all regular files are hardlinks and triggers revalidation, leading to
excessive and unnecessary network traffic.

This change hardcodes cf_nlink (and subsequently i_nlink) when not
returned by the server, similar to what already occurs in cifs_mkdir().
