If O_DENYDELETE flag is specified and the open succeded, any further unlink operation will fail with -ESHAREDENIED untill this open is closed. Now this flag is processed by VFS and CIFS filesystem. NFS returns -EINVAL for opens with this flag.
This looks really, really good, thanks! One question: If Samba wants to open a file for delete access, there's no corresponding flag in the open permissions. There can be the case where Samba wants to open *just* for future unlink, no read or write access required. Is there a way to achieve this atomically correct?
