By forcing creates to always go via lookup we lose some important caching benefits too. Instead let's trust creates with positive cached entries. Then we have 3 possible outcomes: 1. Negative dentry - we go via atomic_open and do the create by name there. 2. Positive dentry, no contention - we just go straight to ll_intent_file_open and open by fid. 3. positive dentry, contention - by the time we reach the server, the inode is gone. We get ENOENT which is unacceptable to return from create. But since we know it's a create, we substitute it with ESTALE and VFS retries again with LOOKUP_REVAL set, we catch that in revalidate and force a lookup (same path as before this patch).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
