[PATCH V2] ext3: Always set dx_node's fake_dirent explicitly.

From: Eric Sandeen <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-04 22:04:12
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

(crossport of 1f7bebb9e911d870fa8f997ddff838e82b5715ea
by Andreas Schlick [off-list ref])

When ext3_dx_add_entry() has to split an index node, it has to ensure that
name_len of dx_node's fake_dirent is also zero, because otherwise e2fsck
won't recognise it as an intermediate htree node and consider the htree to
be corrupted.

(V2: fix subject and commit and formatting)

While it's a simple one liner, this took me forever to (re-)find.

kill_ext3_now++;

That is all. ;)
