GFS2: Add atomic_open support
I've restricted atomic_open to only operate on regular files, although I still don't understand why atomic_open should not be possible also for directories on GFS2. That can always be added in later though, if it makes sense. The ->atomic_open function can be passed negative dentries, which in most cases means either ENOENT (->lookup) or a call to d_instantiate (->create). In the GFS2 case though, we need to actually perform the look up, since we do not know whether there has been a new inode created on another node. The look up calls d_splice_alias which then tries to rehash the dentry - so the solution here is to simply check for that in d_splice_alias. The same issue is likely to affect any other cluster filesystem implementing ->atomic_open Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: "J.
