This seems to be reproducible by the following,
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(seq -w 1000); do
for j in $(seq -w 1000); do
for k in $(seq -w 1000); do
mkdir -p $i/$j
echo $i/$j/$k > $i/$j/$k
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
done
done
done
Some inodes never be reclaimed, and ls -l frees those inodes (stat(2)
does iget/iput).
