Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] VFS: Prepare atomic_open() for dentry_create()
Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2025 09:31:35 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e8c1d2ca28de4a972d37e78599502108148fe17d.1764167204.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1764167204.git.bcodding@hammerspace.com>
The next patch allows dentry_create() to call atomic_open(), but it does
not have fabricated nameidata. Let atomic_open() take a path instead.
Since atomic_open() currently takes a nameidata of which it only uses the
path and the flags, and flags are only used to update open_flags, then the
flag update can happen before calling atomic_open(). Then, only the path
needs be passed to atomic_open() rather than the whole nameidata. This
makes it easier for dentry_create() To call atomic_open().
