Message-ID: <20240206113400.362338010@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4fa4b010b83fb2f837b5ef79e38072a79e96e4f1 upstream.
The tracefs-specific fields in the inode were not initialized before the
inode was exposed to others through the dentry with 'd_instantiate()'.
Move the field initializations up to before the d_instantiate.
