Revert "fs: fold open_check_o_direct into do_dentry_open"
This reverts commit cab64df194667dc5d9d786f0a895f647f5501c0d. Having vfs_open() in some cases drop the reference to struct file combined with error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (error) { put_filp(f); return ERR_PTR(error); } return f; is flat-out wrong. It used to be error = vfs_open(path, f, cred); if (!error) { /* from now on we need fput() to dispose of f */ error = open_check_o_direct(f); if (error) { fput(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } } else { put_filp(f); f = ERR_PTR(error); } and sure, having that open_check_o_direct() boilerplate gotten rid of is nice, but not that way... Worse, another call chain (via finish_open()) is FUBAR now wrt FILE_OPENED handling - in that case we get error returned, with file already hit by fput() *AND* FILE_OPENED not set. Guess what happens in path_openat(), when it hits if (!(opened & FILE_OPENED)) { BUG_ON(!error); put_filp(file); } The root cause of all that crap is that the callers of do_dentry_open() have no way to tell which way did it fail; while that could be fixed up (by passing something like int *opened to do_dentry_open() and have it marked if we'd called ->open()), it's probably much too late in the cycle to do so right now.
