afs_d_revalidate() should only be validating the directory entry it is given and the directory to which that belongs; it shouldn't be validating the inode/vnode to which that dentry points. Besides, validation need to be done even if we don't call afs_d_revalidate() - which might be the case if we're starting from a file descriptor. In order for afs_d_revalidate() to be fixed, validation points must be added in some other places. Certain directory operations, such as afs_unlink(), already check this, but not all and not all file operations either. Note that the validation of a vnode not only checks to see if the attributes we have are correct, but also gets a promise from the server to notify us if that file gets changed by a third party. Add the following checks: - Check the vnode we're going to make a hard link to. - Check the vnode we're going to move/rename. - Check the vnode we're going to read from. - Check the vnode we're going to write to. - Check the vnode we're going to sync. - Check the vnode we're going to make a mapped page writable for. Some of these aren't strictly necessary as we're going to perform a server operation that might get the attributes anyway from which we can determine if something changed - though it might not get us a callback promise.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
