atomic_open is an optional VFS operation, and is primarily for network filesystems. NFS (for instance) can just send an open call for the last path component rather than doing a lookup and then having to follow that up with an open when it doesn't have a dentry in cache. ntfs3 is a local filesystem however, and its atomic_open just does a typical lookup + open, but in a convoluted way. atomic_open will also make directory leases more difficult to implement on the filesystem. Remove ntfs_atomic_open. Signed-off-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Konstantin Komarov <almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com>
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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
