Hi,
This is a re-spin of a patch I posted earlier today.
Andy Price pointed out that my comment was wrong: The race concerns
gfs2_evict_inode, not gfs2_clear_inode (as the previous version's
comment indicated). Function gfs2_clear_inode exists in RHEL6 and
earlier, but not in upstream.
Revised patch description:
This patch changes function gfs2_dir_hash_inval so it uses the
i_lock spin_lock to protect the in-core hash table, i_hash_cache.
This will prevent double-frees due to a race between gfs2_evict_inode
and inode invalidation.
