When running on 5.3 or 5.4 kernels and mounting a Netapp filer via NFSv3
and accessing the .snapshot directory, "fileid changed" errors appear
in dmesg. Reverting these 2 patches solves the issue:
eb3d8f42231aec: NFS: Fix inode fileid checks in attribute revalidation code
7e10cc25bfa0dd: NFS: Don't refresh attributes with mounted-on-file information
Various condition checks changed around printing that error in these
commits, but I'm unclear whether the errors are spurious or something
I should actually be concerned about. Thoughts?
Phil

Hi Olga,
The Netapp is running Ontap 9.6P2. This particular volume has no qtrees.
Also I have not toggled v4-fsid-change, but as noted I am mounting the
volume via NFSv3, so this should not be related.
Some additional information I've found: the fileid changes also occur on
a 4.19.106 kernel, but on that kernel there is no error printed. So this
again leads me to believe that this is a common occurrence, but the conditionals
which changed in 5.3+ kernels only now are causing it to be printed.
From 4.19.106:
[root@hq1-kvm9 (stg) poester] # ls -i /var/lib/libvirt/images/.snapshot | grep daily.2020-02-2._0010
70566464 daily.2020-02-28_0010
70573019 daily.2020-02-29_0010
[root@hq1-kvm9 (stg) poester] # ls -i /var/lib/libvirt/images/.snapshot | grep daily.2020-02-2._0010
70566464 daily.2020-02-28_0010
70573019 daily.2020-02-29_0010
[root@hq1-kvm9 (stg) poester] # find /var/lib/libvirt/images/.snapshot > /dev/null
[root@hq1-kvm9 (stg) poester] # ls -i /var/lib/libvirt/images/.snapshot | grep daily.2020-02-2._0010
70566464 daily.2020-02-28_0010
70572864 daily.2020-02-29_0010 <=== Note fileid changed here
Nothing showed up in dmesg on that kernel, but in the 5.4.latest stable kernel
that would cause the "fileid changed" error to print.
Thanks,
Phil
