I tried to unlink a file after reading it and, even though the file gets
unlinked without any error, most of the files on the filesystem got
screwed up.
In kernel 2.2.14, clear_inode() is a bit different :
void clear_inode(struct inode *inode)
{
if (inode->i_nr_pages)
truncate_inode_pages(inode,0);
wait_on_inode(inode);
...
}
This would explain the fact that I didn't get any BUG().
