Subject: [RFC PATCH v6 8/9] vfs: move O_IS_MKDIR check out atomic_open() to individual filesystems
Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 20:20:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531182045.171711-9-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260531182045.171711-1-jkoolstra@xs4all.nl>
Individual filesystems need to get the chance to implement
O_CREAT|O_DIRECTORY or not, rather than decide this at the VFS level in
atomic_open().
