BTW, ubifs plays funny games with i_nlink - decrements it early in unlink/rmdir/rename and then increments it back on failure. *If* we really want it that way, we need to use set_nlink() there. Frankly, I'd rather deal with drop_nlink() after the last possible failure exit... Unless there are serious reasons why that wouldn't work, that is. Artem?
