Subject: nfsd: remove unnecessary positive-dentry check
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d03d9fe476ea81ad3be25967ef35a671dbd79b55;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

nfsd: remove unnecessary positive-dentry check

vfs_{create,mkdir,mknod} each begin with a call to may_create(), which
returns EEXIST if the object already exists.

This check is therefore unnecessary.

(In the NFSv2 case, nfsd_proc_create also has such a check.  Contrary to
RFC 1094, our code seems to believe that a CREATE of an existing file
should succeed.  I'm leaving that behavior alone.)
