From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> evict_inodes() and invalidate_inodes() use list_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate sb->s_inodes list. However, since we use i_lru list entry for our local temporary list of inodes to destroy, the inode is guaranteed to stay in sb->s_inodes list while we hold sb->s_inode_list_lock. So there is no real need for safe iteration variant and we can use list_for_each_entry() just fine.
