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.
