From f9287c1f2d329f4d78a3bbc9cf0db0ebae6f146a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 12:00:51 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: ext4_mkdir should dirty dir_block with newly created directory inode ext4_mkdir calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with dir_block and the inode "dir". Unfortunately, dir_block belongs to the newly created directory (which is "inode"), not the parent directory (which is "dir"). Fix the incorrect association. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
