Subject: Revert "fuse: fix conversion of fuse_reverse_inval_entry() to start_removing()"
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c12bbaf7c2d19325913ffd7002e580e63952d9e2;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

Revert "fuse: fix conversion of fuse_reverse_inval_entry() to start_removing()"

This reverts commit cab012375122304a6343c1ed09404e5143b9dc01.

Commit c9ba789dad15 ("VFS: introduce start_creating_noperm() and
start_removing_noperm()") caused a regression in FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY,
which failed to invalidate negative dentries.

This manifests in the filesystem returning -ENOENT for operations on an
existing file.

Fixing it properly while still keeping the start_removing* infrastructure
would add much additional complexity.

Instead revert to the original simple implementation.

The start_removing* infrastructure is needed in VFS to abstract the
filesystem locking.  However filesystem code can still safely use the raw
locking primitives without affacting other filesystems.

This is part one of the revert.
