If this common function is really useful for atomic create + atomic open,
I will first add a patch which adds a common function and makes FUSE_CREATE_EXT use that function. And in later patch add functionality to do atomic open.
Just makes code more readable.

So this is the core change of behavior. As of now, if we are not doing
create operation, we just lookup and return. But now you are doing
open + lookup in a single operation. Interesting. I am not sure if
it breaks anything in VFS.

This ENOSYS stuff all the place is making these patches look very unclean
to me. A part of me says that should we negotiate these as feature bits.
Having said that feature bits are precious and should not be used for
trivial purposes. Hmm..., may be we can make handle ENOSYS little better
in general.

Hey you are negotiating FUSE_DO_ATOMIC_OPEN flag. If that's the case why
do you have to deal with -ENOSYS in fuse_do_atomic_open(). You should
be able to just check.

if (!create && fc->do_atomic_open) {
fuse_do_atomic_open().
}

I have yet to check what happens if file does not exist.
