The VFS already handles ESTALE.
If a pathname resolution encounters an ESTALE at any point, the resolution is restarted exactly once, and an additional flag is passed to the file system during each lookup that forces each component in the path to be revalidated on the server. This has no possibility of causing an infinite loop.
Is there some part of this logic that is no longer working? >
