[PATCH v2 0/3] xfs: add O_TMPFILE support

[Christoph Hellwig]

Both patches looks good to me,

Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch at lst.de>

But now we need to make sure we can exercise it, which will need
support for tmpfile and flink commands in xfs_io.

And tests that use those commands in xfstests.  At a minimum I'd
suggest:

 - test creating read-only/read-write/executable files
 - check how permission bits actually work for O_TMPFILE and
   enforce that (unfortunately I can't find any documentation for that)
 - check that creating non-regular files is properly rejected
 - check that flink works on O_TMPFILE files, but doesn't work on
   on other files

For an additional XFS-specific test I'd recommend:

 - creating a tmpfile, use src/godown to force the filesystem down and
   check that repair recoveres the unlinked inode list
 - creating a tmpfile, flinking it, use src/godown to force the
   filesystem down and check that repair does not have to recover
   the unlink inode list.
