HFS implements hardlink by using indirect catalog entries that refer to a hidden directly. The link target is cached in the dev field in the HFS+ specific inode, which is also used for the device number for device files, and inside for passing the nlink value of the indirect node from hfsplus_cat_write_inode to a helper function. Now if we happen to write out the indirect node while hfsplus_link is creating the catalog entry we'll get a link pointing to the linkid of the current nlink value. This can easily be reproduced by a large enough loop of local git-clone operations. Stop abusing the dev field in the HFS+ inode for short term storage by refactoring the way the permission structure in the catalog entry is set up, and rename the dev field to linkid to avoid any confusion. While we're at it also prevent creating hard links to special files, as the HFS+ dev and linkid share the same space in the on-disk structure. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]>
