From: Oleg Drokin <oleg.drokin@xxxxxxxxx> 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).
