[PATCH 2/2] dax: Don't access a freed inode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After we drop the i_pages lock, the inode can be freed at any time.
The get_unlocked_entry() code has no choice but to reacquire the lock,
so it can't be used here.  Create a new wait_entry_unlocked() which takes
care not to acquire the lock or dereference the address_space in any way.

Fixes: c2a7d2a11552 ("filesystem-dax: Introduce dax_lock_mapping_entry()")
