Confirmed. That broken commit 3bcf3860a4ff9bb doesn't even boot for me
(looks like a stack smash recursion), and the commit to "fix" it
(c1e5c954020e12) is really too ugly to live.

I think we need to totally undo the whole "struct file" thing, and
just admit that it was a mistake. The code really wants a "struct
path", and using a struct file screws up all the refcounting and is
just not right.

The fact that dentry_open() may have some problem needs to be fixed
-there- rather than make the callers do crazy things that they don't
want to do and can't do sanely.

Linus
