ext3: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag
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:
