We misused list_move_tail() to order the dentry in d_subdirs. This will screw up the d_subdirs order. This bug can be reliably reproduced by: 1. mount ceph fs. 2. on ceph fs, git clone git://ceph.newdream.net/git/ceph.git 3. Run autogen.sh in ceph directory. (Note: Errors only occur at the first time you run autogen.sh.)
