[REPORT] There is a bug report that kernel is rejecting a mismatching inode mode and its dir item: [ 1881.553937] BTRFS critical (device dm-0): inode mode mismatch with dir: inode mode=040700 btrfs type=2 dir type=0 [CAUSE] It looks like the inode mode is correct, while the dir item type 0 is BTRFS_FT_UNKNOWN, which should not be generated by btrfs at all. This may be caused by a memory bit flip. [ENHANCEMENT] Although tree-checker is not able to do any cross-leaf verification, for this particular case we can at least reject any dir type with BTRFS_FT_UNKNOWN. So here we enhance the dir type check from [0, BTRFS_FT_MAX), to (0, BTRFS_FT_MAX). Although the existing corruption can not be fixed just by such enhanced checking, it should prevent the same 0x2->0x0 bitflip for dir type to reach disk in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
