    xfs: when replaying bmap operations, don't let unlinked inodes get reaped · 17c12bcd

    Log recovery will iget an inode to replay BUI items and iput the inode
    when it's done.  Unfortunately, if the inode was unlinked, the iput
    will see that i_nlink == 0 and decide to truncate & free the inode,
    which prevents us from replaying subsequent BUIs.  We can't skip the
    BUIs because we have to replay all the redo items to ensure that
    atomic operations complete.
    
    Since unlinked inode recovery will reap the inode anyway, we can
    safely introduce a new inode flag to indicate that an inode is in this
    'unlinked recovery' state and should not be auto-reaped in the
    drop_inode path.
