From 4cdeed861b5f797b3fa661eb331a6bd6ad669c6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2008 06:17:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Don't leave behind a half-created inode if ext4_mkdir() fails If ext4_mkdir() fails to allocate the initial block for the directory, don't leave behind a half-created directory inode with the link count left at one. This was caused by an inappropriate call to ext4_dec_count().
