Hm..., seems you are right, I missed this part:
mutex_lock
lookup_open -> atomic_open -> deny_lock_file
mutex_unlock

that means that nobody can open and of course set flock on the newly
created file (because flock is done through file descriptor). So, it
should be fine to call flock after f_ops->atomic_open in atomic_open
function. Thanks.
