if we have mkdir request reported successful *and* simulating lookup gets us a non-directory (which is possible if another client has managed to get rmdir and create in between), the sane action is not to mangle ->i_mode of non-directory inode to S_IFDIR | mode, it's "report success and return with dentry negative unhashed" - that way the next lookup will do the right thing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
