From 36411554e8895feb4197a3ddd19259c84cbf0511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Coddington Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 11:02:04 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] VFS: Prepare atomic_open() for dentry_create() 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().
