INIT_XATTRS is overloaded here -- it's set during the creat process when we think that we're immediately going to set some ACL xattrs to save time. However, it's also used by the parent pointers code to enable the attr fork in preparation to receive ppptr xattrs. This results in xfs_has_parent() branches scattered around the codebase to turn on INIT_XATTRS. Linkable files are created far more commonly than unlinkable temporary files or directory tree roots, so we should centralize this logic in xfs_inode_init. For the three callers that don't want parent pointers (online repiar tempfiles, unlinkable tempfiles, rootdir creation) we provide an UNLINKABLE flag to skip attr fork initialization.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
