ext4 filesystem cannot make over 65000 links toward a file.
(ext3 filesystem cannot make over 32000 links toward a file.)
This test makes over 65000 links toward /mnt-directory.
(Creating 65000 sub-directories makes 65000 links toward /mnt-directory.)
static int ext4_mkdir(struct inode *dir, struct dentry *dentry, int mode)
{
handle_t *handle;
struct inode *inode;
struct buffer_head *dir_block;
struct ext4_dir_entry_2 *de;
int err, retries = 0;
if (EXT4_DIR_LINK_MAX(dir))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
return -EMLINK;
This limit is ext4's specification.
