Currently if another process keeps a file open, due to existing dentry in the dcache, other processes will not see updated metadata of that file if it is changed on the server, even in uncached mode. This can also manifest as -ENODATA when reading a file that has shrunk on the server (even if it's re-opened in another process), or -ENOTSUPP if the file has changed type (e.g. regular file to directory) on the server. We can end up in a situation where both `readdir` or `read` fails until the file is closed by all processes using it. This commit fixes that, and invalidates the dentry altogether if the inode type is changed (for uncached mode).

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 reStructuredText 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.
