From 705db3fd4660174a27418bbcb874d209a76044eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Chinner Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 18:40:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xfs: fix double free of inode If we fail to initialise the VFS inode in inode_init_always(), it will call ->delete_inode internally resulting in the inode being freed. Hence we need to delay the call to inode_init_always() until after the XFS inode is sufficient set up to handle a call to ->delete_inode, and then if that fails do not touch the inode again at all as it has been freed.
