Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] nfs: don't d_drop() before d_splice_alias() in atomic_create.
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 12:21:16 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929022547.1428036-7-neilb@ownmail.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929022547.1428036-1-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.
