commit 0f375eed92b5a407657532637ed9652611a682f5 upstream. In a scenario like the following: mkdir /mnt/A # inode 258 mkdir /mnt/B # inode 259 touch /mnt/B/bar # inode 260 sync mv /mnt/B/bar /mnt/A/bar mv -T /mnt/A /mnt/B fsync /mnt/B/bar <power fail> After replaying the log we end up with file bar having 2 hard links, both with the name 'bar' and one in the directory with inode number 258 and the other in the directory with inode number 259. Also, we end up with the directory inode 259 still existing and with the directory inode 258 still named as 'A', instead of 'B'. In this scenario, file 'bar' should only have one hard link, located at directory inode 258, the directory inode 259 should not exist anymore and the name for directory inode 258 should be 'B'. This incorrect behaviour happens because when attempting to log the old parents of an inode, we skip any parents that no longer exist. Fix this by forcing a full commit if an old parent no longer exists. A test case for fstests follows soon.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
