From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Source kernel commit: 4f6ac47b55e3ce6e982807928d6074ec105ab66e dfp will be freed by ->recover_work and thus the tracepoint in case of an error can lead to a use after free. Store the defer ops in a local variable to avoid that. Fixes: 7f2f7531e0d4 ("xfs: store an ops pointer in struct xfs_defer_pending") Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.
