Subject: [PATCH 09/11] block: Fix oops in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
Date: Mon,  6 Mar 2017 17:34:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170306163404.1238-10-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170306163404.1238-1-jack@suse.cz>

When block device is closed, we call inode_detach_wb() in __blkdev_put()
which sets inode->i_wb to NULL. That is contrary to expectations that
inode->i_wb stays valid once set during the whole inode's lifetime and
leads to oops in wb_get() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() because
inode_to_wb() returned NULL.

The reason why we called inode_detach_wb() is not valid anymore though.
BDI is guaranteed to stay along until we call bdi_put() from
bdev_evict_inode() so we can postpone calling inode_detach_wb() to that
moment.

Also add a warning to catch if someone uses inode_detach_wb() in a
dangerous way.
