[PATCH] ext4: fix a bug when we try to open a file with O_TMPFILEflag
From: Zheng Liu
Date: Fri Jul 19 2013 - 08:14:22 EST
Hi Dave,
After applied this patch, the problem has been fixed in my own sand box.
But that would be great if you could give it a try. I want to make sure
that this patch can fix the problem. It looks like there has the same
problem in ext3. So if this patch is fine, I will generate a patch for
ext3 file system.
Thanks,
- Zheng

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.
