I use those functions in the > 32000 subdirs patch to handle the case where a directory overflows the i_nlinks counter and needs to be set to have i_nlinks = 1. Patch was posted previously, but rejected because there is a potential for directory loss if the filesystem is mounted on an older kernel (i_nlinks == 1, subdir is removed, directory is truncated). I need to add an ROCOMPAT feature in order to handle this, but haven't gotten around to doing it.
