Bloody hell...  Was that sucker hashed on the entry into nfs_lookup()?
If we get that with call as a method, we are really fucked.

<greps>

Ho-hum...  One of the goto no_open; in nfs_atomic_open()?  That would
mean a stale negative dentry in dcache that has escaped revalidation...
Wait a minute, didn't nfs ->d_revalidate() skip everything in some
cases, leaving it to ->atomic_open()?

Looks like the right thing to do would be to do d_drop() at no_open:,
just before we call nfs_lookup().  If not earlier, actually...  How
about the following?

diff --git a/fs/nfs/dir.c b/fs/nfs/dir.c
