Subject: Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v2] f2fs: don't leave the hashed inode while it's unlinked
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 15:23:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aohtWfHNbUwxoQg2@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818200121.2684318-1-jaegeuk@kernel.org>

f2fs_symlink()
1. f2fs_new_inode
2. f2fs_add_link
3. write_being|end to fill the symlink path
4. flush dirty pages and or checkpoint

Step 4 is nice to succeed, which doesn't become a reason to roll back
the created symlink. OTOH, if we get an error till step 3, don't leave
its dentry and its inode.
