[PATCH v2 (v4.18 regression fix)] vfs: don't evict uninitialized inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



iput() ends up calling ->evict() on new inode, which is not yet initialized
by owning fs.  So use destroy_inode() instead.

Add to sb->s_inodes list only if inode is not in I_CREATING state (meaning
that it wasn't allocated with new_inode(), which already does the
insertion).
