We inject IO error when rmdir non empty direcory, then got issue as follows: step1: mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/sda step2: mount /dev/sda test step3: cd test step4: mkdir -p 1/2 step5: rmdir 1 [ 110.920551] ext4_empty_dir: inject fault [ 110.921926] EXT4-fs warning (device sda): ext4_rmdir:3113: inode #12: comm rmdir: empty directory '1' has too many links (3) step6: cd .. step7: umount test step8: fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sda e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013) Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Pass 2: Checking directory structure Entry '..' in .../???

Obviously, it will lead to above issue. To solve this issue, if read directory block failed 'ext4_empty_dir' just return false. To avoid making things worse when file system is already corrupted, 'ext4_empty_dir' also return false.

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.
