From 873101b33776780d32610fc4c90c7358a5e98f51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:06:23 -0400 Subject: NFS: copy symlinks into page cache before sending NFS SYMLINK request Currently the NFS client does not cache symlinks it creates. They get cached only when the NFS client reads them back from the server. Copy the symlink into the page cache before sending it. Test plan: Connectathon, all NFS versions.
