Why does create op need to be added in batcheop?

In my view, batch could be useful in occasion of concurrent setattr, to avoid foundation 'lock'. But how could create relative to this?

For each file, 3FS selects chains from the chain table in a round-robin manner to store the file's data. By default, the counter used for round-robin selection is maintained by the meta server.

There is an optional feature (disabled by default and rarely used) where each directory maintains its own separate counter, which can be beneficial in certain scenarios. For example, when you plan to store a large amount of data in one directory and want the data to be distributed across all storage servers as evenly as possible, maintaining a separate round-robin counter for this directory might achieve better distribution than using the global counter. To reduce transaction conflicts caused by counter modification operations, we have chosen to include the create operation in the batchOp as well.
