From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit c915d8f5918bea7c3962b09b8884ca128bfd9b0c upstream. When inotify_freeing_mark() races with inotify_handle_inode_event() it can happen that inotify_handle_inode_event() sees that i_mark->wd got already reset to -1 and reports this value to userspace which can confuse the inotify listener. Avoid the problem by validating that wd is sensible (and pretend the mark got removed before the event got generated otherwise).
