smb_readdir
  smb_revalidate_inode
    smb_refresh_inode
      smb_proc_getattr
        server->ops->getattr
  server->ops->readdir


The first ls should find the inode out-of-date (smb_readdir probably isn't 
the first call, but that doesn't matter) because it is the first user.
The second ls is run shortly after and should find the inode to be 
up-to-date.

I'm not sure it is important at all, it just wasn't what I expected.
