ocfs2: check existence of old dentry in ocfs2_link()
System call linkat first calls user_path_at(), check the existence of
old dentry, and then calls vfs_link()->ocfs2_link() to do the actual
work. There may exist a race when Node A create a hard link for file
while node B rm it.
Node A Node B
user_path_at()
->ocfs2_lookup(),
find old dentry exist
rm file, add inode say inodeA
to orphan_dir
call ocfs2_link(),create a
hard link for inodeA.
rm the link, add inodeA to orphan_dir
again
When orphan_scan work start, it calls ocfs2_queue_orphans() to do the
main work. It first tranverses entrys in orphan_dir, linking all inodes
in this orphan_dir to a list look like this:
inodeA->inodeB->...->inodeA
When tranvering this list, it will fall into loop, calling iput() again
and again. And finally trigger BUG_ON(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR).
