When integrity_inode_get() is querying and inserting the cache, there is a conditional race in the concurrent environment. Query iint within the read-lock. If there is no result, allocate iint first and insert the iint cache in the write-lock protection. When the iint cache does not exist, and when multiple execution streams come at the same time, there will be a race condition, and multiple copies of iint will be allocated at the same time, and then put into the cache one by one under the write-lock protection. This is mainly because the red-black tree insertion does not perform duplicate detection. This is not the desired result, when this happens, the repeated allocation should be freed and the existing iint cache should be returned.
