4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit 5716863e0f8251d3360d4cbfc0e44e08007075df upstream. fsnotify_unmount_inodes() plays complex tricks to pin next inode in the sb->s_inodes list when iterating over all inodes. Furthermore the code has a bug that if the current inode is the last on i_sb_list that does not have e.g. I_FREEING set, then we leave next_i pointing to inode which may get removed from the i_sb_list once we drop s_inode_list_lock thus resulting in use-after-free issues (usually manifesting as infinite looping in fsnotify_unmount_inodes()). Fix the problem by keeping current inode pinned somewhat longer. Then we can make the code much simpler and standard.
