From 9dc4e6c4d1182d34604ea40fef641775f5b15456 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "J. Bruce Fields" Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2012 18:06:49 -0400 Subject: nfsd: don't fail unchecked creates of non-special files Allow a v3 unchecked open of a non-regular file succeed as if it were a lookup; typically a client in such a case will want to fall back on a local open, so succeeding and giving it the filehandle is more useful than failing with nfserr_exist, which makes it appear that nothing at all exists by that name. Similarly for v4, on an open-create, return the same errors we would on an attempt to open a non-regular file, instead of returning nfserr_exist. This fixes a problem found doing a v4 open of a symlink with O_RDONLY|O_CREAT, which resulted in the current client returning EEXIST. Thanks also to Trond for analysis.
