Dear Rob Herring,

Can you upload the image somewhere? And indicate which exact problems we should look for?
Yes, I'll have to recreate one with a reasonable size.
Did you manage to find time to create an image that couldbe used for testing this issue?
I tried, but unfortunately with a smaller partition it all works fine. So a 1.2GB partition was fine and a ~250GB partition was not. I'm not sure where the breaking point is. Perhaps just taking a hard disk with an x86 install to ext4 fs would be enough to test this. Doing this using highbank qemu model and the disk image being my laptop's drive, I don't see 0 length directories, but I do see other issues reading some directories:
Highbank #ext2ls scsi 0:1 /usr/ <DIR> 4096 . <DIR> 4096 .. <DIR> 69632 bin <DIR> 4096 games <DIR> 20480 include <DIR> 36864 lib <DIR> 4096 local <DIR> 12288 sbin <DIR> 12288 share <DIR> 4096 src <DIR> 4096 x86_64-linux-gnu <DIR> 4096 arm-linux-gnueabihf <DIR> 4096 arm-linux-gnueabi Highbank #ext2ls scsi 0:1 /usr/bin invalid extent block
I would say go ahead and merge this. It's at least usable for smaller /boot type partitions and may not show up on SD and MMC cards.
