Subject: [PATCH] fs: make insert_inode_locked() wait for inode destruction
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 09:38:42 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260111083843.651167-1-mjguzik@gmail.com> (raw)
This is the only routine which instead skipped instead of waiting.
The current behavior is arguably a bug as it results in a corner case
where the inode hash can have *two* matching inodes, one of which is on
its way out.
Ironing out this difference is an incremental step towards sanitizing
the API.
