Thanks for pointing this out, I just realized that the new_inode is
added into orphan_dir first.

Indeed this code snippet is referenced from the code in
ocfs2_xattr_ibody_init(), at there, it didn't use the oi->ip_lock to
protect. In  __ocfs2_reflink(), there are following code snippet,

4244         mutex_lock_nested(&new_inode->i_mutex, I_MUTEX_CHILD);
4245         ret = ocfs2_inode_lock_nested(new_inode, &new_bh, 1,
4246                                       OI_LS_REFLINK_TARGET);

I am not sure about the orphan dir scan, can this two locks protect the
inode?

Thanks,
Junxiao.
