open_last_lookups(): lift O_EXCL|O_CREAT handling into do_open()
Currently path_openat() has "EEXIST on O_EXCL|O_CREAT" checks done on one of the ways out of open_last_lookups(). There are 4 cases: 1) the last component is . or ..; check is not done. 2) we had FMODE_OPENED or FMODE_CREATED set while in lookup_open(); check is not done. 3) symlink to be traversed is found; check is not done (nor should it be) 4) everything else: check done (before complete_walk(), even). In case (1) O_EXCL|O_CREAT ends up failing with -EISDIR - that's open("/tmp/.", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) Note that in the same conditions open("/tmp", O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0600) would have yielded EEXIST. Either error is allowed, switching to -EEXIST in these cases would've been more consistent. Case (2) is more subtle; first of all, if we have FMODE_CREATED set, the object hadn't existed prior to the call. The check should not be done in such a case. The rest is problematic, though - we have FMODE_OPENED set (i.e. it went through ->atomic_open() and got successfully opened there) FMODE_CREATED is *NOT* set O_CREAT and O_EXCL are both set. Any such case is a bug - either we failed to set FMODE_CREATED when we had, in fact, created an object (no such instances in the tree) or we have opened a pre-existing file despite having had both O_CREAT and O_EXCL passed. One of those was, in fact caught (and fixed) while sorting out this mess (gfs2 on cold dcache). And in such situations we should fail with EEXIST. Note that for (1) and (4) FMODE_CREATED is not set - for (1) there's nothing in handle_dots() to set it, for (4) we'd explicitly checked that. And (1), (2) and (4) are exactly the cases when we leave the loop in the caller, with do_open() called immediately after that loop. IOW, we can move the check over there, and make it If we have O_CREAT|O_EXCL and after successful pathname resolution FMODE_CREATED is *not* set, we must have run into a preexisting file and should fail with EEXIST.
