    Btrfs: fix fsync after succession of renames and unlink/rmdir · a3baaf0d

    After a succession of renames operations of different files and unlinking
    one of them, if we fsync one of the renamed files we can end up with a
    log that will either fail to replay at mount time or result in a filesystem
    that is in an inconsistent state. One example scenario:
    
      $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
      $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
    
      $ mkdir /mnt/testdir
      $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname1
      $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname2
    
      $ sync
    
      $ mv /mnt/testdir/fname1 /mnt/testdir/fname3
      $ rm -f /mnt/testdir/fname2
      $ ln /mnt/testdir/fname3 /mnt/testdir/fname2
    
      $ touch /mnt/testdir/fname1
      $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/testdir/fname1
    
      <power failure>
    
      $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
      $ umount /mnt
      $ btrfs check /dev/sdb

    On a kernel without the first patch in this series, titled
    "[PATCH] Btrfs: fix fsync after succession of renames of different files",
    we get instead an error when mounting the filesystem due to failure of
    replaying the log:
    
      $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
      mount: mount /dev/sdb on /mnt failed: File exists
    
    Fix this by logging the parent directory of an inode whenever we find an
    inode that no longer exists (was unlinked in the current transaction),
    during the procedure which finds inodes that have old names that collide
    with new names of other inodes.
    
    A test case for fstests follows soon.
