[PATCH] d_delete in jffs causes oops (2.5.48)

jffs_remove calls d_delete(dentry). vfs_unlink then tries to access dentry->d_inode->i_sem
and calls d_delete(dentry).

Suggested patch:

--- inode-v23.c 20 Nov 2002 11:57:45 -0000 1.4
+++ inode-v23.c 20 Nov 2002 19:45:07 -0000
@@ -1063,8 +1063,6 @@
         inode->i_ctime = dir->i_ctime;
         mark_inode_dirty(inode);
 
- d_delete(dentry); /* This also frees the inode */
-
         result = 0;
 jffs_remove_end:
         return result;

Can the JFFS guys verify that this doesn't cause a memory leak?
