I was working on handling lookup intents in cifs code. So when in cifs lookup, we do a open after figuring out that is what the intent is, I do not know how to handle the generated and filled inode with the info from open. I do not think I can assign it to dentry and instantiate as vfs will return with EEXIST. So I am not sure what to do with the inode. Your help is appreciated.
