Since the parent pointer scrubber does not exhaustively search the filesystem for missing parent pointers, it doesn't have a good way to determine that there are pointers missing from an otherwise uncorrupt xattr structure. Instead, for nondirectories it employs a heuristic of comparing the file link count to the number of parent pointers found. However, we don't want this heuristic flagging a false corruption after a repair has actually scanned the entire filesystem to rebuild the parent pointers. Therefore, reset the file link count in this one case because we actually know the correct link count. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
