Since NFS allows open-by-fhandle, we have to cope with the possibility of mkdir vs. open-by-guessed-handle races. A local filesystem could decide what the inumber of the new object will be and insert a locked inode with that inumber into icache _before_ the on-disk data structures begin to look good and unlock it only once it has a dentry alias, so that open-by-handle coming first would quietly fail and mkdir coming first would have open-by-handle grab its dentry. For NFS it's a non-starter - the icache key is server-supplied fhandle and we do not get that until the object has been fully created on server. We really have to deal with the possibility that open-by-handle gets the in-core inode and attaches a dentry to it before mkdir does. Solution: let nfs_mkdir() use d_splice_alias() to catch those. We can * get an error. Just return it to our caller. * get NULL - no preexisting dentry aliases, we'd just done what d_add() would've done. Success. * get a reference to preexisting alias. In that case the alias had been moved in place of nfs_mkdir() argument (and hashed there), while nfs_mkdir() argument is left unhashed negative. Which is just fine for ->mkdir() callers, all we need is to release the reference we'd got from d_splice_alias() and report success.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
