Yep, that was very likely due to my dentry vote removal changes.
Dave, how's this one look? I guess I'll leave the same description message
below...
Subject: r/o bind mounts: clean up OCFS2 nlink handling
From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@...ibm.com>
OCFS2 does some operations on i_nlink, then reverts them if some of its
operations fail to complete. This does not fit in well with the drop_nlink()
logic where we expect i_nlink to stay at zero once it gets there.
So, delay all of the nlink operations until we're sure that the operations
have completed. Also, introduce a small helper to check whether an inode has
proper "unlinkable" i_nlink counts no matter whether it is a directory or
regular inode.
This patch is broken out from the others because it does contain some logical
changes.
Cleanups to apply against current git-ocfs2 changes by Mark Fasheh.
