Subject: [PATCH 01/18] gfs2: Call unlock_new_inode before d_instantiate
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 16:51:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413145211.881752-2-agruenba@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413145211.881752-1-agruenba@redhat.com>

As Neil Brown describes in detail in the link referenced below, new
inodes must be unlocked before they can be instantiated.

An even better fix is to use d_instantiate_new(), which combines
d_instantiate() and unlock_new_inode().

Fixes: 3d36e57ff768 ("gfs2: gfs2_create_inode rework")
