In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: nlink overflow in jfs_rename
If nlink is maximal for a directory (-1) and inside that directory you perform a rename for some child directory (not moving from the parent), then the nlink of the first directory is first incremented and later decremented. Normally this is fine, but when nlink = -1 this causes a wrap around to 0, and then drop_nlink issues a warning.
After applying the patch syzbot no longer issues any warnings. I also ran some basic fs tests to look for any regressions.
