From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> We need the XFS_NEED_INACTIVE flag to correspond to whether the inode is on the inodegc queues so that we can then use this state for lazy removal. To do this, move the addition of the inode to the inodegc queue under the ip->i_flags_lock so that it is atomic w.r.t. setting the XFS_NEED_INACTIVE flag. Then, when we remove the inode from the inodegc list to actually run inactivation, clear the XFS_NEED_INACTIVE at the same time we are setting XFS_INACTIVATING to indicate that inactivation is in progress. These changes result in all the state changes and inodegc queuing being atomic w.r.t. each other and inode lookups via the use of the ip->i_flags lock.
