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.
