***** SUSPECTED SPAM ***** [RFD 12/17] xfs: add tmpfile methods

[Dave Chinner <david@fromorbit.com>]

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com>

To add O_TMPFILE support, we need to add a new method to the VFS
interface.  This method does the dentry manipulation and drives the
transactional inode allocation and links it to the unlinked inode
list.

The inode allocation needs new transaction reservations that cover
onyl the free inode allocation modifications - it does not need the
reservations that cover directory entry additions. With these
reservations, we can call the newly factored inode allocation
function to get an allocated inode.

The final step is to link the inode into the unlinked list on the
AGI so that the inode will be freed and reclaimed when it is no
longer referenced - that will remove it form the unlinked list at
that time. If we crash with the O_TMPFILE still open, log recovery
will process the unlinked lists and free it at that point in time.

Once the inode is added to the unlinked list, we can commit the
transaction and link the inode to the provided dentry and finish
initialising the VFS part of the dentry.
