Linux kernel source tree
On a filesystem with parent pointers, xchk_nlinks_collect_dir walks both
the directory entries (data fork) and the parent pointers (attr fork) to
determine the correct link count. Unfortunately I forgot to update the
lock mode logic to handle the case of a directory whose attr fork is in
btree format and has not yet been loaded *and* whose data fork doesn't
need loading.
This leads to a bunch of assertions from xfs/286 in xfs_iread_extents
because we only took ILOCK_SHARED, not ILOCK_EXCL. You'd need the rare
happenstance of a directory with a large number of non-pptr extended
attributes set and enough memory pressure to cause the directory to be
evicted and partially reloaded from disk.
I /think/ this only started in 6.18-rc1 because I've started seeing OOM
errors with the maple tree slab using 70% of memory, and this didn't
happen in 6.17. Yay dynamic systems!

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.
