Subject: inode->i_wb_list corruption.
Date: Tue, 6 Mar 2012 13:51:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120306185137.GA15881@redhat.com> (raw)
We've had three separate reports against 3.2.x recently where the linked list debugging
is getting tripped up by the prev->next pointer being null instead of pointing
to the current list entry while walking the i_wb_list
Call traces are slightly different each time, but all end up walking i_wb_list
in dput -> d_kill -> i_put -> evict -> inode_wb_list_del
What protects that list ? It looks to be just bdi->wb.list_lock ?
