Hmm.
Al, Miklos, I just triggered the new inc_link() warning three times in very close succession by just doing a simple
perf record -f -e cycles:pp make -j
(I don't think the "perf record" part was actually required or relevant, although it may have been instrumental in triggering just the right timing)
This was in a fully built tree, I'm just checking
The warning trace looks like this:
[ 6933.446125] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 6933.446131] WARNING: at fs/inode.c:349 inc_nlink+0x30/0x40() [ 6933.446133] Hardware name: System Product Name [ 6933.446135] Pid: 22955, comm: perf Not tainted 3.2.0-03190-g972b2c719990 #72 [ 6933.446137] Call Trace: [ 6933.446143] [<ffffffff8102ee15>] warn_slowpath_common+0x75/0xb0 [ 6933.446145] [<ffffffff8102ef15>] warn_slowpath_null+0x15/0x20 [ 6933.446147] [<ffffffff810f1450>] inc_nlink+0x30/0x40 [ 6933.446151] [<ffffffff8116f333>] ext4_symlink+0x113/0x2c0 [ 6933.446154] [<ffffffff810e7b01>] vfs_symlink+0xa1/0xf0 [ 6933.446157] [<ffffffff810e7c03>] sys_symlinkat+0xb3/0xd0 [ 6933.446159] [<ffffffff810e7c31>] sys_symlink+0x11/0x20 [ 6933.446162] [<ffffffff816916a2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 6933.446164] ---[ end trace 550d4b2eb6b8fbc9 ]---
and the three warnings all triggered within 2/100th of a second of that one (the last one had a timestamp of 6933.465678), so they are probably all related to the same thing happening.
Any ideas?
