Subject: WARNING: at fs/inode.c:280 drop_nlink+0x31/0x33()


I'm using kernel 3.5.3 ...

It happens on 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 also.

I know that Nick Bowler has already reported this...

I'm experiencing the same thing.

It happens when moving files from one directory to another
on the same partition (NFS).

(cc'ing linux-cifs ml)

This stack trace comes from cifs, not nfs.

Steve French has a patch queued in his tree to silence this warning
that I believe he intends to send to Linus for 3.6. Perhaps we should
consider backporting it for 3.5.z too?

Thanks for replying Jeff...

Yes, it sure would be great to have 3.5.z patch...

Jeff,

I applied this patch to Kernel 3.5.3 from Pavel and the
the warning is gone with no problems.

This one fixes only a part of the problem. Now we have another patch
for this problem:

Since I'm using kernel 3.5.3 , I get an error on hunk 7 of the patch.

I can do it by hand... But I want to check with you first.

Thanks,
