From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit b1438f477934f5a4d5a44df26f3079a7575d5946 upstream. When a failure due to an inode buffer occurs, the error handling fails to abort the inode writeback correctly. This can result in the inode being reclaimed whilst still in the AIL, leading to use-after-free situations as well as filesystems that cannot be unmounted as the inode log items left in the AIL never get removed. Fix this by ensuring fatal errors from xfs_imap_to_bp() result in the inode flush being aborted correctly.
