Hello,
In mdcache_unlink, ganesha removes the dirent from its parent by
calling mdcache_dirent_remove(). It also clears MDCACHE_TRUST_ATTRS. So, if
a subsequent GETATTR comes for the parent (which can happen in the same
compound from nfs4_op_remove), it frees all entries at the end of
mdcache_refresh_attrs(). In this scenario, isn't it possible to keep the
rest of dirents intact?
I'm thinking if we update parents attrs in unlink itself, would it prevent
any further refreshes? The use case here is large directories with frequent
additions/deletions/enumerations.
Thanks,
Pradeep
