Yeah, basically what Hilf writes: Task 1 Task 2 umount() some delayed work, transaction commit, whatever is still running before ext4_put_super() completes ... ext4_error() fsnotify_sb_error() fsnotify() fetches fsnotify_sb_info generic_shutdown_super() fsnotify_sb_delete() frees fsnotify_sb_info Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR
