[PATCH v5 11/17] vfs: make vfs_mknod break delegations on parent directory

From: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-11-05 16:54:47
Also in: linux-cifs, linux-fsdevel, linux-nfs, linux-unionfs, linux-xfs, lkml, netfs
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, ecrypt file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), kernel nfsd, sunrpc, and lockd servers, networking [general], networking [unix sockets], overlay filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Tyler Hicks, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Chuck Lever, Jeff Layton, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Kuniyuki Iwashima, Miklos Szeredi, Amir Goldstein, Linus Torvalds

In order to add directory delegation support, we need to break
delegations on the parent whenever there is going to be a change in the
directory.

Add a new delegated_inode pointer to vfs_mknod() and have the
appropriate callers wait when there is an outstanding delegation. All
other callers just set the pointer to NULL.
