From a11b9f65eae766b17ec3451a6a1766f0a9d1dbff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chao Yu Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 22:56:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: clear nlink if fail to add_link We don't need to keep incomplete created inode in cache, so if we fail to add link into directory during new inode creation, it's better to set nlink of inode to zero, then we can evict inode immediately. Otherwise release of nid belong to inode will be delayed until inode cache is being shrunk, it may cause a seemingly endless loop while allocating free nids in time of testing generic/269 case of fstest suit.
