Testcase? I mean, line from strace output. It should never happen -
open_namei() explicitly goes around the creation code without O_CREAT.
if (!(flag & O_CREAT)) {
if (path_init(pathname, lookup_flags(flag), nd))
error = path_walk(pathname, nd);
if (error)
return error;
dentry = nd->dentry;
} else {
[... possibly create the thing...]
}
[... common path - no attempts to create anything]
