Each afs dentry is tagged with the version that the parent directory was at last time it was validated and, currently, if this differs, the directory is scanned and the dentry is refreshed. However, this leads to an excessive amount of revalidation on directories that get modified on the client without conflict with another client. We know there's no conflict because the parent directory's data version number got incremented by exactly 1 on any create, mkdir, unlink, etc., therefore we can trust the current state of the unaffected dentries when we perform a local directory modification. Optimise by keeping track of the last version of the parent directory that was changed outside of the client in the parent directory's vnode and using that to validate the dentries rather than the current version.

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 Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
