In a previous patch, we added some code to perform sufficient repairs to an ondisk inode record such that the inode cache would be willing to load the inode. If the broken inode was a shortform directory, it will reset the directory to something plausible, which is to say an empty subdirectory of the root. The telltale signs that something is seriously wrong is the broken link count. Such directories look clean, but they shouldn't participate in a filesystem scan to find or confirm a directory parent pointer. Create a predicate that identifies such directories and abort the scrub. Found by fuzzing xfs/1554 with multithreaded xfs_scrub enabled and u3.bmx[0].startblock = zeroes. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
