[Bug 317274] [NEW] removed directories in cifs mounted share can still appear within application calls

[Toby Collett]

Public bug reported:

I found this when updating to subversion 1.5 in hardy backports.
Basically a sequence of removing and then confirming a directory has
been removed that subversion carries out causes the behaviour. I
directory is removed, and then a new readdir call will show the
directory is still present.

This has been reported to the samba team and a fix has been comitted to
the upstream kernel. Git commit is
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a3952c2de7f7e76bc84d85e5895f70ca10079cd0

I have confirmed this patch fixes the problem on intrepid and hardy
latest kernels. This probably affects earlier kernels but I cannot
confirm.

I have attached a test application that triggers the behaviour.

This bug is stopping us using subversion 1.5 on a cifs mount, and I
assume will affect any one else wanting to do the same.
