From dd7db149bcd914db8fdeb19cd5597c0740121bc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhihao Cheng Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2020 22:29:09 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: ubifs_jnl_change_xattr: Remove assertion 'nlink > 0' for host inode Changing xattr of a temp file will trigger following assertion failed and make ubifs turn into readonly filesystem: ubifs_assert_failed [ubifs]: UBIFS assert failed: host->i_nlink > 0, in fs/ubifs/journal.c:1801 Reproducer: 1. fd = open(__O_TMPFILE) 2. fsetxattr(fd, key, value2, XATTR_CREATE) 3. fsetxattr(fd, key, value2, XATTR_REPLACE) Fix this by removing assertion 'nlink > 0' for host inode.
