Hi, If the mode of a directory gets corrupted, check_filetype() makes wrong decisions for all its sub-directories. For example, using debugfs we can corrupt the mode of a directory to 0140755 (i.e. a socket). e2fsck will set the filetype of all its subdirectories as 6 (filetype for socket). All the subdirectories would be moved to lost+found, and in second run of e2fsck their filetype would be set back to 2. By the time we come to check_filetype(), we have already verified the "." and ".." entries, so we special case these dirents in check_filetype(). Please consider for review.
