4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx>
commit 0f375eed92b5a407657532637ed9652611a682f5 upstream.
In a scenario like the following:
mkdir /mnt/A # inode 258
mkdir /mnt/B # inode 259
touch /mnt/B/bar # inode 260
sync
mv /mnt/B/bar /mnt/A/bar
mv -T /mnt/A /mnt/B
fsync /mnt/B/bar
<power fail>
After replaying the log we end up with file bar having 2 hard links, both
with the name 'bar' and one in the directory with inode number 258 and the
other in the directory with inode number 259. Also, we end up with the
directory inode 259 still existing and with the directory inode 258 still
named as 'A', instead of 'B'. In this scenario, file 'bar' should only
have one hard link, located at directory inode 258, the directory inode
259 should not exist anymore and the name for directory inode 258 should
be 'B'.
This incorrect behaviour happens because when attempting to log the old
parents of an inode, we skip any parents that no longer exist. Fix this
by forcing a full commit if an old parent no longer exists.
A test case for fstests follows soon.
