Description
When unlinking a directory on tmpfs the directory itself is removed but the directory entries are not freed. This can lead lead tmpfs to eventually run out of space. Additionally because the reference counting is now out of sync some directories cannot be removed even if they are empty (rmdir will fail with EEXIST).
