I have been thinking about this and I'm wondering if on fs that support it ioctl_ficlone it might leveraged to make atomic writes of the A without D type that many application devs desire.
A sequence of
create B
ioctl_ficlone B from A
write to B
ioctl_ficlone A from B
Though that looks too simple and there may be something I'm missing.
