The fact that ceph wasn't returning ESTALE in this situation didn't seem to be technically _wrong_ to me, but the xfstest treated that as a failure. It's probably best to return ESTALE since that's the conventional behavior, but I don't think it's necessarily required for correct operation in general. FWIW, if we ever implement O_TMPFILE in ceph, then we may need to revisit this code. With that, you can do a 0->1 transition on i_nlink, which blows some of the assumptions we're making here out of the water. > > > > 2.

That's completely orthogonal to whether the file is open. -- Jeff Layton
