Subject: [PATCH] ext4_rename should dirty dir_bh with the correct directory
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 20:35:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110817033544.GO20655@tux1.beaverton.ibm.com> (raw)

When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a buffer that is
modified to update the '..' link in the directory being moved (old_inode).
However, ext4_handle_dirty_metadata is called with the old parent directory
inode (old_dir) and dir_bh, which is incorrect because dir_bh does not belong
to the parent inode.  Fix this error.
