    ext4: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag · e94bd349

    When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
    The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
    this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
    inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    	int fd;
    
    	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
    	if (fd < 0) {
    		perror("open ");
    		return -1;
    	}
    	close(fd);
    	return 0;
    }
    
    The oops message looks like this:

    Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
    will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink.  So this commit
    tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.
