If we open a file with O_TMPFILE, don't do any further operation on it (so that the inode item isn't updated) and then force a transaction commit, we get a persisted inode item with a link count of 1, and not 0 as it should be. Steps to reproduce it (requires a modern xfs_io with -T support): $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdd $ mount -o /dev/sdd /mnt $ xfs_io -T /mnt & $ sync Then btrfs-debug-tree shows the inode item with a link count of 1: $ btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sdd (...) fs tree key (FS_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) leaf 29556736 items 4 free space 15851 generation 6 owner 5 fs uuid f164d01b-1b92-481d-a4e4-435fb0f843d0 chunk uuid 0e3d0e56-bcca-4a1c-aa5f-cec2c6f4f7a6 item 0 key (256 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 16123 itemsize 160 inode generation 3 transid 6 size 0 block group 0 mode 40755 links 1 item 1 key (256 INODE_REF 256) itemoff 16111 itemsize 12 inode ref index 0 namelen 2 name: .. item 2 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 15951 itemsize 160 inode generation 6 transid 6 size 0 block group 0 mode 100600 links 1 item 3 key (ORPHAN ORPHAN_ITEM 257) itemoff 15951 itemsize 0 orphan item checksum tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0) (...)
