Steven Rostedt (Google) a49e9c7267 eventfs: Keep all directory links at 1 ... commit ca185770db upstream. The directory link count in eventfs was somewhat bogus. It was only being updated when a directory child was being looked up and not on creation. One solution would be to update in get_attr() the link count by iterating the ei->children list and then adding 2. But that could slow down simple stat() calls, especially if it's done on all directories in eventfs. Another solution would be to add a parent pointer to the eventfs_inode and keep track of the number of sub directories it has on creation. But this adds overhead for something not really worthwhile. The solution decided upon is to keep all directory links in eventfs as 1. This tells user space not to rely on the hard links of directories. Which in this case it shouldn't.
