[ Upstream commit 111b812d3662f3a1b831d19208f83aa711583fe6 ]
Due to the nature of b-trees, nilfs2 itself and admin tools such as
mkfs.nilfs2 will never create an intermediate b-tree node block with 0
child nodes, nor will they delete (key, pointer)-entries that would result
in such a state. However, it is possible that a b-tree node block is
corrupted on the backing device and is read with 0 child nodes.
Because operation is not guaranteed if the number of child nodes is 0 for
intermediate node blocks other than the root node, modify
nilfs_btree_node_broken(), which performs sanity checks when reading a
b-tree node block, so that such cases will be judged as metadata
corruption.

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 Restructured Text 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.
