[PATCH 2/3] Fix a drop_nlink warning in minix_rmdir
Posted by Jori Koolstra 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Syzbot found a drop_nlink warning that is triggered by an easy to
detect nlink corruption of a directory. This patch adds a sanity check
to minix_rmdir to prevent the warning and instead return EFSCORRUPTED to
the caller.

The changes were tested using the syzbot reproducer as well as local
testing.
