+ * Reason for adding GLUSTERFS_INTERNAL_FOP_KEY :
+ *
+ * Problem:
+ * While a brick is down in a replica pair, lets say the user creates
+ * one file(file-A) and a hard link to that file(h-file-A). After the
+ * brick comes back up, entry self-heal is attempted on parent dir of
+ * these two files. As part of readdir in self-heal it reads both the
+ * entries file-A and h-file-A for both of them it does name less lookup
+ * to check if there are any hardlinks already present in the
+ * destination brick. It finds that there are no hard links already
+ * present for files file-A, h-file-A. Self-heal does mknods for both
+ * file-A and h-file-A. This leads to file-A and h-file-A not being
+ * hardlinks anymore.
+ *
+ * Fix: (More like shrinking of race-window, the race itself is still
+ * present in posix-mknod).
+ * If mknod comes with the presence of GLUSTERFS_INTERNAL_FOP_KEY then
+ * posix_mknod checks if there are already any gfid-links and does
+ * link() instead of mknod. There still can be a race where two
+ * posix_mknods same gfid see that
+ * gfid-link file is not present and proceeds with mknods and result in
+ * two different files with same gfid.
