[PATCH 2/4] ceph: fix buffer free while holding i_ceph_lock in __ceph_setxattr()

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Fri Jul 19 2019 - 10:32:43 EST


Calling ceph_buffer_put() in __ceph_setxattr() may end up freeing the
i_xattrs.prealloc_blob buffer while holding the i_ceph_lock. This can be
fixed by postponing the call until later, when the lock is released.

The following backtrace was triggered by fstests generic/117.
