Ocfs2: Handle deletion of reflinked oprhan inodes correctly.
The rule is that all inodes in the orphan dir have ORPHANED_FL, otherwise we treated it as an ERROR. This rule works well except for some rare cases of reflink operation: http://oss.oracle.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1215 The problem is caused by how reflink and our orphan_scan thread interact. * The orphan scan pulls the orphans into a queue first, then runs the queue at a later time. We only hold the orphan_dir's lock during scanning. * Reflink create a oprhaned target in orphan_dir as its first step. It removes the target and clears the flag as the final step. These two steps take the orphan_dir's lock, but it is not held for the duration. Based on the above semantics, a reflink inode can be moved out of the orphan dir and have its ORPHANED_FL cleared before the queue of orphans is run. This leads to a ERROR in ocfs2_query_wipde_inode(). This patch teaches ocfs2_query_wipe_inode() to detect previously orphaned reflink targets. If a reflink fails or a crash occurs during the relfink operation, the inode will retain ORPHANED_FL and will be properly wiped.
