Do we really need the opendata structure? It seems like we could just pass a struct path instead of the dentry passed directly and the vfsmount in it. There should be no need to preallocate the file before calling into ->atomic_open, as it's only used to pass around f_flags - but we already pass that one to ->atomic_open directly and might as well pass it on to finish_open and allocate the file there. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
