6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit f2f496370afcbc5227d7002da28c74b91fed12ff upstream. The eventfs_inode->is_freed was a union with the rcu_head with the assumption that when it was on the srcu list the head would contain a pointer which would make "is_freed" true. But that was a wrong assumption as the rcu head is a single link list where the last element is NULL. Instead, split the nr_entries integer so that "is_freed" is one bit and the nr_entries is the next 31 bits. As there shouldn't be more than 10 (currently there's at most 5 to 7 depending on the config), this should not be a problem.
