Speaking of Lustre: WTF is
                        /* Open dentry. */
                        if (S_ISFIFO(d_inode(dentry)->i_mode)) {
                                /* We cannot call open here as it would
                                 * deadlock.
                                 */
                                if (it_disposition(it, DISP_ENQ_OPEN_REF))
                                        ptlrpc_req_finished(
                                                       (struct ptlrpc_request *)
                                                          it->d.lustre.it_data);
                                rc = finish_no_open(file, de);
                        } else {
about and why do we only do that to FIFOs?  What about symlinks or device
nodes?  Directories, for that matter...  Shouldn't that be if (!S_ISREG(...))
instead?
