Hi Al, Here is a resend of my patch series to add support for the atomic_open directory-inode op to vboxsf, since this series seems to have fallen through the cracks. Note this is not just an enhancement this also fixes an actual issue which users are hitting, see the commit message of patch 4/4. Regards, Hans Hans de Goede (4): vboxsf: Honor excl flag to the dir-inode create op vboxsf: Make vboxsf_dir_create() return the handle for the created file vboxsf: Add vboxsf_[create|release]_sf_handle() helpers vboxsf: Add support for the atomic_open directory-inode op fs/vboxsf/dir.c | 76 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- fs/vboxsf/file.c | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- fs/vboxsf/vfsmod.h | 7 +++++ 3 files changed, 116 insertions(+), 38 deletions(-) -- 2.30.1
