From Frank Filz <ffilzlnx(a)mindspring.com&gt;: Frank Filz has uploaded this change for review. ( https://review.gerrithub.io/411347 Change subject: Use temporary fd instead of global fd for getattr/setattr/LOCKT ...................................................................... Use temporary fd instead of global fd for getattr/setattr/LOCKT Some use cases have shown issues with opening a global file descriptor for getattr/setattr which then remains open until the LRU thread gets around to closing it. This can result in a lot of open fd, or preventing Samba clients from opening the file. This patch simply prevents opening the global file descriptor when the FSAL_O_ANY openflags mode is selected, instead if the global file descriptor is NOT open, it opens a temporary file descriptor. If the global file descriptor IS open, it will still be utilized, so we avoid extraneous open for getattr that occurs amidst anonymous I/O.
