The more common use case of send involves creating a RO snapshot and then use it for a send operation. In this case it's not possible to have inodes in the snapshot that have a link count of zero (inode with an orphan item) since during snapshot creation we do the orphan cleanup. However, other less common use cases for send can end up seeing inodes with a link count of zero and in this case the send operation fails with a ENOENT error because any attempt to generate a path for the inode, with the purpose of creating it or updating it at the receiver, fails since there are no inode reference items. One use case it to use a regular subvolume for a send operation after turning it to RO mode or turning a RW snapshot into RO mode and then using it for a send operation. In both cases, if a file gets all its hard links deleted while there is an open file descriptor before turning the subvolume/snapshot into RO mode, the send operation will encounter an inode with a link count of zero and then fail with errno ENOENT. Example using a full send with a subvolume: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sv1 $ touch /mnt/sv1/foo $ touch /mnt/sv1/bar # keep an open file descriptor on file bar $ exec 73</mnt/sv1/bar $ unlink /mnt/sv1/bar # Turn the subvolume to RO mode and use it for a full send, while # holding the open file descriptor. $ btrfs property set /mnt/sv1 ro true $ btrfs send -f /tmp/full.send /mnt/sv1 At subvol /mnt/sv1 ERROR: send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory Example using an incremental send with snapshots: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sv1 $ touch /mnt/sv1/foo $ touch /mnt/sv1/bar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sv1 /mnt/snap1 $ echo "hello world" >> /mnt/sv1/bar $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sv1 /mnt/snap2 # Turn the second snapshot to RW mode and delete file foo while # holding an open file descriptor on it. $ btrfs property set /mnt/snap2 ro false $ exec 73</mnt/snap2/foo $ unlink /mnt/snap2/foo # Set the second snapshot back to RO mode and do an incremental send. $ btrfs property set /mnt/snap2 ro true $ btrfs send -f /tmp/inc.send -p /mnt/snap1 /mnt/snap2 At subvol /mnt/snap2 ERROR: send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory So fix this by ignoring inodes with a link count of zero if we are either doing a full send or if they do not exist in the parent snapshot (they are new in the send snapshot), and unlink all paths found in the parent snapshot when doing an incremental send (and ignoring all other inode items, such as xattrs and extents). A test case for fstests follows soon.

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.
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.
