[PATCH 3.16 103/305] xfs: fix inode validity check in xfs_iflush_cluster

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Aug 14 2016 - 07:37:54 EST


3.16.37-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 51b07f30a71c27405259a0248206ed4e22adbee2 upstream.

Some careless idiot(*) wrote crap code in commit 1a3e8f3 ("xfs:
convert inode cache lookups to use RCU locking") back in late 2010,
and so xfs_iflush_cluster checks the wrong inode for whether it is
still valid under RCU protection. Fix it to lock and check the
correct inode.
