[PATCH 4.18 145/168] vfs: dont evict uninitialized inode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 08 2018 - 14:54:01 EST


4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e950564b97fd0f541b02eb207685d0746f5ecf29 upstream.

iput() ends up calling ->evict() on new inode, which is not yet initialized
by owning fs. So use destroy_inode() instead.

Add to sb->s_inodes list only if inode is not in I_CREATING state (meaning
that it wasn't allocated with new_inode(), which already does the
insertion).
