Hi!
commit ab0c29687bc7a890d1a86ac376b0b0fd78b2d9b6 upstream
Make vboxsf_dir_create() optionally return the vboxsf-handle for the created file. This is a preparation patch for adding atomic_open support.
Follow up commits using this functionality are in 5.13 but not in 5.10, so I believe we don't need this in 5.10, either?
(Plus someone familiar with the code should check if we need "vboxsf: Honor excl flag to the dir-inode create op" in 5.10; it may have same problem).
Actually those follow up commits fix an actual bug, so I was expecting the person who did the backport to also submit the rest of the set.
I only track Greg's failed messages when I find time for stable and this one was one of those. So, no idea who has originally requested this and why were the other two not requested.
