hello,
I think this is used in parallel dir operations in 2.0 branch. In this case
we allow multiple threads to modify the same dir if entries fall into
different physical blocks (and take care about locking on lower layers in
MDS if entries come to the same block). But as this is a dir modification
operation, we want to let clients know about this, so that they can flush
their dentry cache.
Thanks.
