Commit 5d069dbe8aaf ("fuse: fix bad inode") replaced make_bad_inode() in fuse_iget() with a private implementation fuse_make_bad(). The private implementation fails to remove the bad inode from inode cache, so the retry loop with iget5_locked() finds the same bad inode and marks it bad forever. kmsg snip: [ ] rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU ...
