+ *                   the lower dentry and the lower mount set
+ *
+ * eCryptfs only ever keeps a single open file for every lower
+ * inode. All I/O operations to the lower inode occur through that
+ * file. When the first eCryptfs dentry that interposes with the first
+ * lower dentry for that inode is created, this function creates the
+ * persistent file struct and associates it with the eCryptfs
+ * inode. When the eCryptfs inode is destroyed, the file is closed.
+ *
+ * The persistent file will be opened with read/write permissions, if
+ * possible. Otherwise, it is opened read-only.
+ *
+ * This function does nothing if a lower persistent file is already
+ * associated with the eCryptfs inode.
+ *
+ * Returns zero on success; non-zero otherwise
