Also, about this code:

/* a horrid kludge trying to make sure that this will fail on old kernels */
#define O_TMPFILE (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)

why not doing something like this:

#ifndef O_TMPFILE
/* a horrid kludge trying to make sure that this will fail on old kernels */
#define O_TMPFILE (__O_TMPFILE | O_DIRECTORY)
#endif
Sorry, I don't take a closer look at that thread.  I look at the code,
and it seems that there is no any rule about adding '#ifndef XXX'.
Meanwhile, I notice a comment:

/*
 * When introducing new O_* bits, please check its uniqueness in fcntl_init().
 */

But we are missing adding O_TMPFILE flag in fcntl_init().  So I attach a
patch below.

Al, could you please answer this question?  Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] vfs: add missing check for __O_TMPFILE in fcntl_init()

From: Zheng Liu <redacted>

As comment in include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h described, when
introducing new O_* bits, we need to check its uniqueness in
fcntl_init().  But __O_TMPFILE bit is missing.  So fix it.

Any comment?

Thanks,
