[PATCH v2 1/9] virtiofsd: Add TempFd structure

[Max Reitz]

We are planning to add file handles to lo_inode objects as an
alternative to lo_inode.fd.  That means that everywhere where we
currently reference lo_inode.fd, we will have to open a temporary file
descriptor that needs to be closed after use.

So instead of directly accessing lo_inode.fd, there will be a helper
function (lo_inode_fd()) that either returns lo_inode.fd, or opens a new
file descriptor with open_by_handle_at().  It encapsulates this result
in a TempFd structure to let the caller know whether the FD needs to be
closed after use (opened from the handle) or not (copied from
lo_inode.fd).

By using g_auto(TempFd) to store this result, callers will not even have
to care about closing a temporary FD after use.  It will be done
automatically once the object goes out of scope.
