    [PATCH] ext2/ext3 Orlov directory accounting fix · 52ab8b6a

    "In looking at the fix for the ext3 Orlov double-accounting bug, I
     noticed a change to the sb->s_dir_count accounting, restoring a
     missing s_dir_count++ when we allocate a new directory.
    
     However, I can't find anywhere in the code where we decrement this
     again on directory deletion, neither in ext2 nor in ext3, in 2.4 nor
     in 2.5."
    
    Locking is via lock_super().
