Oleg Drokin d9421ff6c1 staging: lustre: llite: Trust creates in revalidate too.
By forcing creates to always go via lookup we lose some
important caching benefits too.
Instead let's trust creates with positive cached entries.

Then we have 3 possible outcomes:
1. Negative dentry - we go via atomic_open and do the create
   by name there.
2. Positive dentry, no contention - we just go straight to
   ll_intent_file_open and open by fid.
3. positive dentry, contention - by the time we reach the server,
   the inode is gone. We get ENOENT which is unacceptable to return
   from create. But since we know it's a create, we substitute it
   with ESTALE and VFS retries again with LOOKUP_REVAL set, we catch
   that in revalidate and force a lookup (same path as before this
   patch).

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
