After commit cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeiback_single_inode can push inode with I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happened after deletion of inode io_list at evict. Stack trace is following. evict fat_evict_inode fat_truncate_blocks fat_flush_inodes writeback_inode sync_inode_metadata writeback_single_inode This will lead to use after free in flusher thread.
