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.
