Amir Goldstein 12ba780d64 tmpfs: allow decoding a file handle of an unlinked file
tmpfs uses the helper d_find_alias() to find a dentry from a decoded
inode, but d_find_alias() skips unhashed dentries, so unlinked files
cannot be decoded from a file handle.

This can be reproduced using xfstests test program open_by_handle:

  $ open_by handle -c /tmp/testdir
  $ open_by_handle -dk /tmp/testdir
  open_by_handle(/tmp/testdir/file000000) returned 116 incorrectly on an unlinked open file!

To fix this, if d_find_alias() can't find a hashed alias, call
d_find_any_alias() to return an unhashed one.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
