xfs: reset child dir '..' entry when unlinking child
While running xfs/168, I noticed a second source of post-shrink corruption errors causing shutdowns. Let's say that directory B has a low inode number and is a child of directory A, which has a high number. If B is empty but open, and unlinked from A, B's dotdot link continues to point to A. If A is then unlinked and the filesystem shrunk so that A is no longer a valid inode, a subsequent AIL push of B will trip the inode verifiers because the dotdot entry points outside of the filesystem. To avoid this problem, reset B's dotdot entry to the root directory when unlinking directories, since the root directory cannot be removed. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
