4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit 11a6fc3dc743e22fb50f2196ec55bee5140d3c52 upstream. xattr operations can race with unlink and the following assert triggers: UBIFS assert failed in ubifs_jnl_change_xattr at 1606 (pid 6256) Fix this by checking i_nlink before working on the host inode.
