From 4704f0e274829e3af00737d2d9adace2d71a9605 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2008 19:16:07 -0400 Subject: NFS: Fix the resolution problem with nfs_inode_attrs_need_update() It appears that 'jiffies' timestamps do not have high enough resolution for nfs_inode_attrs_need_update(). One problem is that a GETATTR can be launched within < 1 jiffy of the last operation that updated the attribute. Another problem is that RPC calls can take < 1 jiffy to execute. We can fix this by switching the variables to use a simple global counter that gets incremented every time we start another GETATTR call.
