FWIW, can you confirm that a debug kernel assert fails with a non-zero link count in xfs_bumplink() with your test case? int xfs_bumplink( xfs_trans_t *tp, xfs_inode_t *ip) { xfs_trans_ichgtime(tp, ip, XFS_ICHGTIME_CHG); >>>>> ASSERT(ip->i_d.di_nlink > 0); ip->i_d.di_nlink++; inc_nlink(VFS_I(ip)); If it does, we should consider this a in-memory corruption case and return and trigger a shutdown here....
