I am aware that ATOMIC_OPEN is not directly related to CREATE. But
This is more of feature enabling by using the flag. If we do not
FUSE_DO_ATOMIC_OPEN, CREATE calls would not know that it need to
optimize lookup calls otherwise as we know only from open call that
atomic open is implemented. So workloads or performance measuring
applications such as bonnie++ would not be showing improvements for
CREATE, it would not be making 'open' calls. And it is only in open
calls we set fc->do_atomic_open.

Would remove it

 I see. So if atomic open is enabled, we should be truncating file as
part of this atomic open call itself despite  fc->atomic_o_trunc is
set or not. Would make changes here.

Thanks, I see. I would check if we can pass a flag from libfuse to
fuse kernel and check here for the same in case file was actually
created or not.

Thanks for pointing it out. I would handle error return.
