Are you sure you want these two fields set to the value of current-> ?

Need to check for dentry->d_inode here before using it.

(mode & (S_IRWXUGO | S_ISVTX)) | S_IFDIR
instead of just | with S_IFDIR, right?

(mode & S_IALLUGO) | S_IFREG
here too, to be safe, right?

Why do you want to allow symlinks in relayfs?

Why not just go off of the mode here? That would let you get rid of a
paramater, as you need mode to be set properly anyway for directories.

Same here.
