If we failed to add new entry on rename whiteout, we cannot reset the old->de entry directly, because the old->de could have moved from under us during make indexed dir. So find the old entry again before reset is needed, otherwise it may corrupt the filesystem as below. /dev/sda: Entry '00000001' in ??? (12) has deleted/unused inode 15. CLEARED. /dev/sda: Unattached inode 75 /dev/sda: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
