    GFS2: Make gfs2_dir_del update link count when required · 855d23ce
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    When we remove an entry from a directory, we can save ourselves
    some trouble if we know the type of the entry in question, since
    if it is itself a directory, we can update the link count of the
    parent at the same time as removing the directory entry.
    
    In addition this patch also merges the rmdir and unlink code which
    was almost identical anyway. This eliminates the calls to remove
    the . and .. directory entries on each rmdir (not needed since the
    directory will be deallocated, anyway) which was the only thing preventing
    passing the dentry to gfs2_dir_del(). The passing of the dentry
    rather than just the name allows us to figure out the type of the entry
    which is being removed, and thus adjust the link count when required.
