https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199179 Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jack@xxxxxxx --- Comment #4 from Jan Kara (jack@xxxxxxx) --- Ted, I'm not quite getting it: ext4_iget() should fail getting the root inode in case i_links_count is 0. It should return -ESTALE and mark the inode as bad. So iput() will call ext4_evict_inode() but because the inode is marked as bad, we skip any attempts to delete the inode and just call ext4_clear_inode(). But apparently that didn't happen and ext4_iget() succeeded despite inode having i_links_count == 0. So the question is why the check: if (inode->i_nlink == 0) { if ((inode->i_mode == 0 || !(EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb)->s_mount_state & EXT4_ORPHAN_FS)) && ino != EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO) { /* this inode is deleted */ ret = -ESTALE; goto bad_inode; } in ext4_iget() didn't trigger... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
