From 834f2a4a1554dc5b2598038b3fe8703defcbe467 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trond Myklebust Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 14:20:16 -0700 Subject: VFS: Allow the filesystem to return a full file pointer on open intent This is needed by NFSv4 for atomicity reasons: our open command is in fact a lookup+open, so we need to be able to propagate open context information from lookup() into the resulting struct file's private_data field.
