I would like JuiceFS to support the creation of temporary files using the O_TMPFILE flag, as defined in the Linux file system API. This feature allows for the creation of an anonymous, unlinked file that is automatically deleted when closed, providing both a security benefit by not leaving traces in the filesystem and an atomicity guarantee for file creation operations.
Why is this needed?
Security Enhancements
Using O_TMPFILE prevents other processes from accessing the temporary file while it's being written to, as it is never visible in the file system tree. This enhances security by reducing the risk of data leaks or unauthorized access to sensitive information stored temporarily.
Atomicity
It enables atomic write operations, ensuring that either the entire file write operation succeeds, or it fails leaving no partial data behind. This is particularly important in scenarios where data integrity and consistency are paramount.
Efficiency
By automatically cleaning up the file upon close, it reduces the need for manual cleanup code, thereby simplifying application logic and minimizing the potential for resource leaks.
Adding support for O_TMPFILE would align JuiceFS more closely with modern file system capabilities and cater to a broader range of use cases, especially those requiring secure and efficient handling of temporary data.

为什么需要这个功能？
安全性增强：使用 O_TMPFILE 可以防止其他进程在写入临时文件时访问它，因为它在文件系统树中从不可见。这通过降低数据泄露或未经授权访问临时存储的敏感信息的风险来增强安全性。
原子性：它支持原子写入操作，确保要么整个文件写入操作成功，要么失败而不留下任何部分数据。这在数据完整性和一致性至关重要的场景中尤为重要。
效率：通过在关闭时自动清理文件，减少了对手动清理代码的需求，从而简化了应用程序逻辑并减少了资源泄漏的潜在可能性。
添加对 O_TMPFILE 的支持将使 JuiceFS 更符合现代文件系统的功能，并满足更广泛的使用场景，尤其是那些需要安全高效处理临时数据的场景。
