Subject: 38-rc1: umount+rmmod cause ext4 error.
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 14:53:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D368A70.5030103@tao.ma> (raw)

Hi Nick and Ted,
	I ran some very basic test with 38-rc1 and my box run into error with 
the message like:

slab error in kmem_cache_destroy(): cache `ext4_inode_cache': Can't free 
all objects
Pid: 4395, comm: rmmod Not tainted 2.6.38-rc1 #1

SLAB: cache with size 888 has lost its name
SLAB: cache with size 888 has lost its name

The reproduce process is simple:just rmmod ext4 immediately after umount 
an ext4 volume.

I have done some very simple investigation and it seems that with Nick's 
new ext4_i_callback, even after we do ext4_destroy_inode, it isn't 
freed. So after we destroy the ext_inode_cache, and when freeing the 
inode, it errors. Hope it helps. If you have any fixes, I can test it.

Regards,
Tao
