When XFS creates an O_TMPFILE file, the inode is created with nlink = 1, put on the unlinked list, and then the VFS sets nlink = 0 in d_tmpfile. If we crash before anything logs the inode (it's dirty incore but the vfs doesn't tell us it's dirty so we never log that change), the iunlink processing part of recovery will then explode with a pile of: XFS: Assertion failed: VFS_I(ip)->i_nlink == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_log_recover.c, line: 5072 Worse yet, since nlink is nonzero, the inodes also don't get cleaned up and they just leak until the next xfs_repair run. Therefore, change xfs_iunlink to require that inodes being put on the unlinked list have nlink == 0, change the tmpfile callers to instantiate nodes that way, and set the nlink to 1 just prior to calling d_tmpfile. Fix the comment for xfs_iunlink while we're at it. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
