Hello,
simple_lookup() in fs/libfs.c does some extra steps, namely
dentry->d_op = &simple_dentry_operations;
d_add(dentry, NULL);
as far as I understand, this creates a negative dentry which will be
deleted sometime later again. Is not it easier to not create it at all
(since it is not going to be existent anyway)?
