File_A is created and its inode synced to disk. 2. File_A is unlinked and doesn't exist anymore. 3. Filesystem sync is invoked. 4. File_B is created. File_B happens to reclaim File_A's inode. 5. xfs_bulkstat() is called and detects File_B but reports the incorrect File_A inode state. Explanation for the incorrect inode state is that inodes are not immediately synced on file create for performance reasons. This leaves the on-disk inode buffer uninitialized (or with old state from a previous generation inode) and this is what xfs_bulkstat() would report. The patch marks the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink. When the inode is reclaimed (by a new file create), xfs_bulkstat() would filter this inode by the "dirty" mark. Once the inode is flushed to disk, the on-disk buffer "dirty" mark is automatically removed and a following xfs_bulkstat() would return the correct inode state. Marking the on-disk inode buffer "dirty" on unlink is achieved by setting the on-disk di_nlink field to 0. Note that the in-core di_nlink has already been set to 0 and a corresponding transaction logged by xfs_droplink(). This is an exception from the rule that any on-disk inode buffer changes has to be followed by a disk write (inode flush). Synchronizing the in-core to on-disk di_nlink values in advance (before the actual inode flush to disk) should be fine in this case because the inode is already unlinked and it would never change its di_nlink again for this inode generation.
