From: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ->atomic_open() might have used a different alias than the one we'd passed to it; in "not opened" case we take care of that, in "opened" one we don't. Currently we don't care downstream of "opened" case which alias to return; however, that will change shortly when we get to unifying may_open() calls. It's not hard to get right in all cases, anyway.
