Creating, renaming or deleting a file may cause catalog corruption and
data loss. This bug is randomly triggered by xfstests generic/027, but
here is a faster reproducer:
truncate -s 50M fs.iso
mkfs.hfsplus fs.iso
mount fs.iso /mnt
i=100
while [ $i -le 150 ]; do
touch /mnt/$i &>/dev/null
((++i))
done
i=100
while [ $i -le 150 ]; do
mv /mnt/$i /mnt/$(perl -e "print $i x82") &>/dev/null
((++i))
done
umount /mnt
fsck.hfsplus -n fs.iso
The bug is triggered whenever hfs_brec_update_parent() needs to split the
root node. The height of the btree is not increased, which leaves the new
node orphaned and its records lost.

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.
