From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Joe Lawrence reported a list_add corruption with 4.6-rc1 when testing some custom md administration code that made it's own block device nodes for the md array. The simple test loop of: for i in {0..100}; do mknod --mode=0600 $tmp/tmp_node b $MAJOR $MINOR mdadm --detail --export $tmp/tmp_node > /dev/null rm -f $tmp/tmp_node done Would produce this warning in bd_acquire() when mdadm opened the device node: list_add double add: new=ffff88043831c7b8, prev=ffff8804380287d8, next=ffff88043831c7b8. And then produce this from bd_forget from kdevtmpfs evicting a block dev inode: list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffff8800bb83eb10, but was ffff88043831c7b8 This is a regression caused by commit c19b3b05 ("xfs: mode di_mode to vfs inode"). The issue is that xfs_inactive() frees the unlinked inode, and the above commit meant that this freeing zeroed the mode in the struct inode. The problem is that after evict() has called ->evict_inode, it expects the i_mode to be intact so that it can call bd_forget() or cd_forget() to drop the reference to the block device inode attached to the XFS inode. In reality, the only thing we do in xfs_fs_evict_inode() that is not generic is call xfs_inactive(). We can move the xfs_inactive() call to xfs_fs_destroy_inode() without any problems at all, and this will leave the VFS inode intact until it is completely done with it. So, remove xfs_fs_evict_inode(), and do the work it used to do in ->destroy_inode instead.
