+# FS QA Test No. 039
+#
+# This test is motivated by an fsync issue discovered in btrfs.
+# The issue was that after fsyncing an inode that got its link count
+# decremented, and the new link count is greater than zero, after the
+# fsync log replay the inode's parent directory metadata became
+# inconsistent - it had a wrong i_size and dangling index entries which
+# prevented the directory from ever being removed (rmdir always failed
+# with -ENOTEMPTY, even if the directory had no more child inodes).
+#
+# The btrfs issue was fixed by the following linux kernel patch:
+#
+# Btrfs: fix directory inconsistency after fsync log replay
