Linux kernel source tree

When counting and checking hard links in an ntfs file record,
struct MFT_REC {
struct NTFS_RECORD_HEADER rhdr; // 'FILE'
__le16 seq; // 0x10: Sequence number for this record.
>> __le16 hard_links; // 0x12: The number of hard links to record.
__le16 attr_off; // 0x14: Offset to attributes.
...
the ntfs3 driver ignored short names (DOS names), causing the link count
to be reduced by 1 and messages to be output to dmesg.
For Windows, such a situation is a minor error, meaning chkdsk does not report
errors on such a volume, and in the case of using the /f switch, it silently
corrects them, reporting that no errors were found. This does not affect
the consistency of the file system.
Nevertheless, the behavior in the ntfs3 driver is incorrect and
changes the content of the file system. This patch should fix that.
PS: most likely, there has been a confusion of concepts
MFT_REC::hard_links and inode::__i_nlink.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
