The duplication is:
struct gfs2_inode *ip = GFS2_I(inode);
[...]
error = -ENOENT;
if (inode->i_nlink == 0)
goto out_gunlock;
[...]
error = -EINVAL;
if (!ip->i_inode.i_nlink)
goto out_gunlock;
The second check is removed. ENOENT is the correct error code for
attempts to link a deleted inode (ref: link(2)).
If we support O_TMPFILE in future the check will need to be updated with
an exception for inodes flagged I_LINKABLE so sorting out this
duplication now will make it a slightly cleaner change.

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.
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.
