My log is showing errors like May 1 05:14:17 corn kernel: [6822807.017625] EXT3-fs warning (device dm-7): ext3_dx_add_entry: Directory index full! Judging from the minor device numbers in /dev/mapper, that corresponds to my mail spool. My searches suggest that the problem indicates an individual directory has too many files in it. There does not seem to be a general shortage of inodes or space.

Hi In ext3_get_parent(), quick string (struct qstr) can do the job, in place of declaring a dentry on stack. Following patch does this and saves few bytes on kernel stack.
