Subject: inotify-send-in_attrib-events-when-link-count-changes fix
From: Jan Kara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
OK, it's a problem with CIFS. Its cifs_hardlink() function doesn't call
d_instantiate() and thus returns a dentry with d_inode set to NULL. I'm not
sure if such behavior is really correct but anyway, attached is a new version
of the patch which should handle it gracefully.
