Message-ID: <473B89F9.7070204@redhat.com> (raw)
What does it mean when a pointer to an inode has a value of -1?

/usr/src/debug/kernel-2.6.22/linux-2.6.22.x86_64/block/ll_rw_blk.c:3139
ffffffff8110854e: 48 8b 45 10 mov 0x10(%rbp),%rax
ffffffff81108552: 48 8b 40 08 mov 0x8(%rax),%rax
ffffffff81108556: 48 8b 40 68 mov 0x68(%rax),%rax
maxsector = bio->bi_bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9;
bd_inode == -1
-----------
rw_verify_area+0x24/0x7e
inode == -1 again

inode = filp->f_path.dentry->d_inode;
