From 54e346215e4fe2ca8c94c54e546cc61902060510 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 14:38:25 -0300 Subject: vfs: fix inode_init_always calling convention Currently inode_init_always calls into ->destroy_inode if the additional initialization fails. That's not only counter-intuitive because inode_init_always did not allocate the inode structure, but in case of XFS it's actively harmful as ->destroy_inode might delete the inode from a radix-tree that has never been added. This in turn might end up deleting the inode for the same inum that has been instanciated by another process and cause lots of cause subtile problems. Also in the case of re-initializing a reclaimable inode in XFS it would free an inode we still want to keep alive.
