Hello, simple_lookup() in fs/libfs.c does some extra steps, namely dentry->d_op = &simple_dentry_operations; d_add(dentry, NULL); as far as I understand, this creates a negative dentry which will be deleted sometime later again. Is not it easier to not create it at all (since it is not going to be existent anyway)?
