Starting with the metadata directory feature, we're allowed to call the directory and parent pointer scrubbers for every metadata file, including the ones that are children of the superblock. For these children, checking the link count against the number of parent pointers is a bit funny -- there's no such thing as a parent pointer for a child of the superblock since there's no corresponding dirent. For purposes of validating nlink, we pretend that there is a parent pointer. 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.
