The fact is, the only difference the change I made makes to v4 filesystems is that it removed the typedef from the sizeof calculation. On my test systems, the value mp->m_dir_node_ents is identical for v4 filesystems with or without the patch applied..... > >>During a merge.

Did you test 3.9 - before the crc changes were made to the filesystem? i.e. if an invalid mp->m_dir_node_ents value is the real cause of the v4 filesystem problem, then it should reproduce on just about every kernel we chose to test. > With the patch, a shorter test on Linux 3.10 did not assert.

Because nobody can explain why this patch would fix a problem on a v4 filesystem, we need more triage of the v4 problem needs to be done. I haven't been able to reproduce the unlink issue (and don't have time to do everything), so could you triage the problem further, Mark? We really need to understand the root cause of the problem on v4 filesystems so we can determine what the impact of it is...
