    [PATCH] ext3 ordering fix · e6946b9a
    Andrew Morton authored
    Fix the order of inodes being marked dirty in a couple of corner cases.
    
    The only impact of this bug is that the on-disk copies of i_version
    might got out of sync for a directory, or that an error inserting an
    inode into a directory might leave its i_nlinks incorrect on disk for a
    short interval.  Neither problem will cause trouble for ext3 during
    normal operation, but the nlink problem might cause e2fsck to emit
    unnecessary warnings if we crash while the incorrect version of the
    inode is in the journal.
