Ernesto A. Fernández f2e71fed90 hfsplus: prevent btree data loss on root split
[ Upstream commit 0a3021d4f5295aa073c7bf5c5e4de60a2e292578 ]

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
============

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.
