Subject: [PATCH] ext2/3 bugfix 4/6: Fix ext3 htree rename bug
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2002 22:59:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E189doz-0007Ge-00@snap.thunk.org> (raw)
Fix ext3 htree rename bug.
This fixes an ext3 htree bug pointed out by Christopher Li; if
adding the new name to the directory causes a split, this can cause
the directory entry containing the old name to move to another
block, and then the removal of the old name will fail.
