Thanks. I'll rebase onto 7.4-rc1 (will make note of the dependency), which has the commit f1ac607f786f. > > - d_instantiate(entry, inode); > > + if (d_in_lookup(entry)) > > + d_splice_alias(inode, entry); > > + else > > + d_instantiate(entry, inode); > > Similar to above, d_splice_alias() is now sufficient for all cases. Thanks, fuse_create_open() also handles FUSE_TMPFILE, which needs d_instantiate() for its dentry to stay unhashed. Otherwise I can have it use d_splice_alias().
