Subject: [PATCH v2 16/19] nfs: don't d_drop() before d_splice_alias() in atomic_create.
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 13:29:49 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427033527.773006-17-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427033527.773006-1-neilb@ownmail.net>

From: NeilBrown <neil@brown.name>

When atomic_create fails with -ENOENT we currently d_drop() the dentry
and then re-add it (d_splice_alias()) with a NULL inode.
This drop-and-re-add will not work with proposed locking changes.

As d_splice_alias() now supports hashed dentries, we don't need the
d_drop() until it is determined that some other error has occurred.
