Merge tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.atomic_open' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs atomic_open updates from Christian Brauner: "Allow knfsd to use atomic_open() While knfsd offers combined exclusive create and open results to clients, on some filesystems those results are not atomic. The separate vfs_create() + vfs_open() sequence in dentry_create() can produce races and unexpected errors. For example, open O_CREAT with mode 0 will succeed in creating the file but return -EACCES from vfs_open(). Additionally, network filesystems benefit from reducing remote round-trip operations by using a single atomic_open() call. Teach dentry_create() -- whose sole caller is knfsd -- to use atomic_open() for filesystems that support it" * tag 'vfs-7.0-rc1.atomic_open' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs/namei: fix kernel-doc markup for dentry_create VFS/knfsd: Teach dentry_create() to use atomic_open() VFS: Prepare atomic_open() for dentry_create() VFS: move dentry_create() from fs/open.c to fs/namei.c
