From d3db90e270791b21cd00d3c094884bffa907cc9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chuck Lever Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 20:06:22 -0400 Subject: NFS: remove a no-longer-needed error check in nfs_symlink() In the early days of NFS, there was no duplicate reply cache on the server. Thus retransmitted non-idempotent requests often found that the request had already completed on the server. To avoid passing an unanticipated return code to unsuspecting applications, NFS clients would often shunt error codes that implied the request had been retried but already completed. Thanks to NFS over TCP, duplicate reply caches on the server, and network performance and reliability improvements, it is safe to remove such checks. Test plan: None.
