[Gluster-users] question about nfs lookup result

[jin deng]

Thank you so much.Soumya,you make me more clear about the logic of the code.

I used to wonder the code was to handle the last resolve case.However i
followed

the "nfs3_fh_resolve_entry_hard" and I thought it would get the ret == -2
case and went

into the "nfs3_lookup_op" branch,and finally call the
"nfs3_call_resume".Seems has

no chance to call "nfs3_fh_resolve_entry_lookup_cbk" because it was a LOOKUP

operation.Am i wrong again? :-)
