[lvc-project] [PATCH] fs: minix: Fix handling of corrupted directories

[Andrey Kriulin]

If the directory is corrupted and the number of nlinks is less than 2 
(valid nlinks have at least 2), then when the directory is deleted, the
minix_rmdir will try to reduce the nlinks(unsigned int) to a negative
value.

Make nlinks validity check for directory in minix_lookup.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
