[PATCH 22/34] vfs: add i_op->atomic_open()

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Thu Apr 05 2012 - 11:01:10 EST


From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Add a new inode operation which is called on the last component of an open.
Using this the filesystem can look up, possibly create and open the file in one
atomic operation. If it cannot perform this (e.g. the file type turned out to
be wrong) it may signal this by returning NULL instead of an open struct file
pointer.

i_op->atomic_open() is only called if the last component is negative or needs
lookup. Handling cached positive dentries here doesn't add much value: these
can be opened using f_op->open(). If the cached file turns out to be invalid,
the open can be retried, this time using ->atomic_open() with a fresh dentry.

For now leave the old way of using open intents in lookup and revalidate in
place. This will be removed once all the users are converted.
