Thanks for the patch.

I'm not sure how far back the "stable" kernels are being maintained, so you may want to submit that in a separate patch. > diff --git a/fs/ext4/namei.c b/fs/ext4/namei.c > index 03482c01..9852b24 100644 > --- a/fs/ext4/namei.c > +++ b/fs/ext4/namei.c > @@ -3697,6 +3697,12 @@ static int ext4_rename(struct inode *old_dir, struct dentry *old_dentry, > } > > if (new.inode) { > + if (new.inode->i_nlink == 0) { > + ext4_warning(new.inode->i_sb, > + "Removing nonexistent file (%lu), %d", > + new.inode->i_ino, new.inode->i_nlink); There isn't any benefit to printing i_nlink, since we already know from the check above that it is always zero when this message is printed. This would benefit from using the ext4_warning_inode() helper function, since it will print the inode in a standard format and also rate-limit the error. It would also be useful to also print "new.dentry->d_name" in the message: ext4_warning_inode(new.inode, "path %pd: removing un-referenced inode", new.dentry); (like __ext4_error_file()) to make this easier to debug, since the inode itself will have just been deleted as part of this rename operation, so there won't be much else to use for debugging.
