Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fuse: open cached files with FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 14:16:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020141647.3271341-3-jamz@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020141647.3271341-1-jamz@amazon.com>
From: Jimmy Zuber <jamz@amazon.com>
When the server implements FUSE_OPEN_ATOMIC, skip LOOKUP for a
regular file being opened, opening it by name from fuse_open() instead.
If the name now refers to a different file or to nothing, drop the
dentry and return -EOPENSTALE, so that the VFS looks the name up again.
A matching reply refreshes the attributes and the entry timeout.
If the server replies -ENOSYS, fuse_open() sends the skipped LOOKUP
itself.
