2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ (cherry picked from commit b05ab1dc3795e6f997fb0d34f38fce5012533c3e) In ext4_link we need to check using EXT4_LINK_MAX, and not EXT4_DIR_LINK_MAX(), since ext4_link() is creating hard links of regular files, and not directories.
