Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] f2fs: Add sanity checks before unlinking and loading  inodes
Date: Sat,  1 Nov 2025 14:56:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55522ef8f3424e563ff18a720c709dcb065091af.1761993022.git.zlatistiv@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1761993022.git.zlatistiv@gmail.com>

Add check for inode->i_nlink == 1 for directories during unlink,
as their value is decremented twice, which can trigger a warning in
drop_nlink. In such case mark the filesystem as corrupted and return
from the function call with the relevant failure return value.

Additionally add the 2 checks for i_nlink == 0 and i_nlink == 1 in
sanity_check_inode in order to detect on-disk corruption early.
