From 58829e490ee805f1c8b3009abc90e2a1a7a0d278 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Chinner Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 15:11:20 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] [XFS] Fix an inode use-after-free durin an unpin. When reclaiming inodes that have been unlinked, we may need to execute transactions during reclaim. By the time the transaction has hit the disk, the linux inode and xfs vnode may already have been freed so we can't reference them safely. Use the known xfs inode state to determine if it is safe to reference the vnode and linux inode during the unpin operation.
