I'm still confused about this...

I don't know what's wrong with this version from my limited knowledge?
inode itself is locked when fsyncing, so

if the fsync inode->i_nlink == 1, this inode has only one hard link
(not deleted yet) and should belong to a single directory; and

the only one parent directory would not go away (not deleted as well)
since there are some dirents in it (not empty).

Could kindly explain more so I would learn more about this scenario?
Thanks a lot!

directory counting towards 'inode->i_nlink == 1', what's happening?

It may be simply dentry->d_parent (stable/positive as you said before, and it's
not empty). why need to d_find_alias()?


And what is the original problem? I could not get some clue from the original
patch description (I only saw some extra igrab/iput because of some unknown
reasons), it there some backtrace related to the problem?

Thanks,
