Fair point, "free_inode" no longer matches where it fires.

I'd keep this patch as is, though, since it is tagged for stable:
the event name is visible to users in tracefs
(events/hugetlbfs/hugetlbfs_free_inode), and renaming it in stable
kernels would break existing tracing setups there just to fix the
use-after-free.

I can send a follow-up on top of it for mm-unstable that renames the
event to hugetlbfs_destroy_inode, which also matches the
hugetlbfs_evict_inode name next to it. Would that work for you, or
would you prefer the rename folded into a v2?

Thanks,
Joas
