Linux kernel source tree
29cc6fb7c0
We had a bug where the root inode of a subvolume was erronously deleted: bch2_evict_inode() called bch2_inode_rm(), meaning the VFS inode's i_nlink was somehow set to 0 when it shouldn't have - the inode in the btree indicated it clearly was not unlinked. This has been addressed with additional safety checks in bch2_inode_rm() - pulling in the safety checks we already were doing when deleting unlinked inodes in recovery - but the really disastrous bug was in check_subvols(), which on finding a dangling subvol (subvol with a missing root inode) would delete the subvolume. I assume this bug dates from early check_directory_structure() code, which originally handled subvolumes and normal paths - the idea being that still live contents of the subvolume would get reattached somewhere. But that's incorrect, and disastrously so; deleting a subvolume triggers deleting the snapshot ID it points to, deleting the entire contents. The correct way to repair is to recreate the root inode if it's missing; then any contents will get reattached under that subvolume's lost+found.

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.
