+# FS QA Test No. 041
+#
+# This test is motivated by an fsync issue discovered in btrfs.
+# The steps to trigger the issue were:
+#
+# 1) remove an hard link from an inode with a large number of hard links;
+# 2) add a new hard link;
+# 3) add another hard link with the same name as the one removed in step 1;
+# 4) fsync the inode.
+#
+# These steps made the btrfs fsync log replay fail (with the -EOVERFLOW error),
+# making the filesystem unmountable, requiring the use of btrfs-zero-log (it
+# wipes the fsync log) in order to make the filesystem mountable again (but
+# losing some data/metadata).
+#
+# The btrfs issue was fixed by the following linux kernel patches:
+#
+# Btrfs: fix fsync when extend references are added to an inode
+# Btrfs: fix fsync log replay for inodes with a mix of regular refs and extrefs
+#
+# This issue was present in btrfs since the extrefs (extend references)
+# feature was added (2012).
