Various comments and documentation in/about the linux kernel state that inodes that belong to directories cannot have multiple dentry objects (called 'aliases' in this case) associated with them. AFS can violate this restriction in a couple of cases:

I have a patch for this that seems to work, but I'd like some of the other linux-aware people on the list to look it over and let me know if my use of d_find_alias is appropriate here or if I should be doing something else. Suggestions for what conditional I should be using would be welcome.

It has been requested that I try to make sure that the (one and only) dentry never has the @sys name in it. The only way we came up to do this is to extend the afs_lookup() interface to return the translated name if @sys processing was done. Does this seem appropriate?
Does anyone else care to comment on this?
