It's a trival change but follows knfsd export document that asks
for d_splice_alias during lookup.

This is a bug even before you start exporting, isn't it?

OK, I see, in the atomic_open case we're probably only dealing with a
positive dentry for a regular file at this point, in which case
d_splice_alias is really just d_add....

I'm not sure this patch is really necessary, then.

d_splice_alias() also instantly reduces to d_add() whenever the
'inode' argument is NULL.

Ahh right -- good point. d_splice_alias does this:

        if (!inode) {
                __d_instantiate(dentry, NULL);
                goto out;
        }
[...]
out:
	security_d_instantiate(dentry, inode);
        d_rehash(dentry);
        return NULL;

...which is exactly what d_add does. So yeah, that change isn't
strictly necessary. Still, it might be more future-proof to use
d_splice_alias there if the semantics ever change...

Could be, I don't know.

May as well apply it (or not) independently of this series, though.
