getting file pointer from dentry

Hi,

   I am working on a stackable file system. I have a pointer to a dentry
object and I need to get a pointer to a file object. I am using the
dentry_open function. But this requires a vfsmount pointer. Is there any
way to get the address of the vfsmount object using just the dentry
object? Any help will be highly appretiated.
